📢 U.S. Student Visa Appointments Have Resumed! 🇺🇸🎓

The U.S. Embassy has officially resumed appointments for F, M, and J student visas after a temporary pause.

As per the latest update from the U.S. State Department, enhanced vetting procedures are now in place. Visa officers will carefully assess applicants’ online and social media presence to detect any signs of “hostile attitudes” including expressions of hatred or hostility toward U.S. institutions, values, or people.

This updated policy is now in effect, and all new student visa applications will be evaluated accordingly.

Stay informed and follow us for the latest updates.

📸 Some glimpses from ICEF USA – San Diego 2025!

Our Founder & CEO / Principal Counselor, Anup Pradhan, had the opportunity to attend this global event and connect with amazing institutions and partners, mostly from the United States.

It was a great chance to learn, share ideas, and explore new opportunities for the students we work with. Happy to have had the experience! 🙏🏼🌍🇳🇵

📢 Public Announcement – Important Update from Pradhan International Education Consultants 📢

We would like to officially inform all our students, parents, partner institutions, and well-wishers that, starting from June 5, 2025, Pradhan International Education Consultants Pvt. Ltd. will be operating fully from the United States under the name:

👉 Pradhan International Education Services LLC (PIES)

Though PIES has been officially registered in the USA since 2019, this transition starts our full operations from the United States. It demonstrates our long-term vision to better serve students by being closer to U.S. universities ensuring faster communication, stronger institutional partnerships, and continuous post-arrival support for our students abroad.

🔹 What’s Changing?

- There will be no physical office in Nepal for the time being.

- All services will now be provided remotely from the USA by a team of qualified and experienced counselors from different U.S. states, many of whom have years of firsthand experience living and studying in the United States.

- Our qualified and experienced team will continue to assist students in every step from application to visa and post-arrival support.

🔹 What’s Staying the Same?

- Our company registration in Nepal will remain active.

- We may reopen our office in Nepal in the future potentially in our own building or property depending on how circumstances develop.

- Our dedication, integrity, and student-first approach remain unchanged.

🌍 This next stage allows us to support students not only from Nepal but globally, while maintaining the same values that built our reputation.

📢 U.S. Student Visa Update – Temporary Pause on New Appointments

We would like to inform our students that the U.S. Department of State has temporarily paused new visa interview appointments for F, M, and J categories worldwide. This is due to internal updates aimed at enhancing their screening procedures.

🔹 Students with existing visa appointments are not affected — those interviews will proceed as scheduled.
🔹 New appointment scheduling is currently on hold, but this is expected to be a short-term measure.

We encourage all students to continue preparing their documents and I-20s so they are ready to act promptly once appointment booking resumes.

This is a procedural update, not a cancellation. The United States remains one of the most welcoming and preferred destinations for international students, and this temporary pause will not change that.

We are closely monitoring the situation and will keep you informed of any further developments.

🎉 Congratulations to Aayusha Gurung on securing her U.S. student visa to pursue an Associate Degree in Culinary Arts at a community college! 🇺🇸👩‍🍳

We are incredibly proud of your achievement and honored to have been part of your journey.

Many students are often uncertain about the chances of getting a visa for an associate degree or community college, but Aayusha’s success is proof that it’s absolutely possible when you have a genuine intent to study, solid financial preparation, and a clear academic plan.

Choosing a community college can be a smart and cost-effective decision. The first two years of university education typically involve general education courses - the same courses offered by community colleges at a much lower cost. So why not save thousands of dollars while building a strong academic foundation?

Thank you, Aayusha, for placing your trust in us. We wish you all the best as you begin your exciting journey in the U.S. May your passion for the culinary arts lead you to amazing opportunities and success! 😊👍
