Why should you trust the information on this web page?

Do not ask me for help to immigrate or to study abroad

I cannot help you immigrate from the country you are in to another country, including the USA.

Do not write me for help. Do not write me for advice. Do not write me for money.

Do not write me seeking a sponsor / sponsorship. I will not sponsor you, I will not help you find a sponsor.

Do not write me seeking financial help. I will not give you any money.

Any country you want to immigrate to has information on how to get a visa to visit or live in the country. Look at that information on the OFFICIAL web site.

Make sure any information you are looking at online about immigration comes from the OFFICIAL web site of the country; there are a LOT of for-profit companies that have immigration information and you should not trust it without verifying the information on the OFFICIAL web site of the country.

Do not believe anything anyone who is not a registered, credible lawyer tells you - not your Mom, your brother, your neighbor, no one - not unless you can verifying it on the information on the OFFICIAL web site of the country.

A family member living in another country is NOT automatically well-informed about immigration. Do not believe everything they tell you about how to immigrate - verify everything they say on the OFFICIAL web site of the country.

There are NOT strangers in the USA or Canada or Australia or wherever you want to go who are willing to spend thousands of dollars on complete strangers who want to emigrate or to study internationally, or just people who need/want money. Stop looking for them.

Below this graphic is information for those that hope to get a scholarship to study abroad at a university.

Below is an old graphic originally published in 2008 of what the immigration process is like for people that want to come to the USA. It's old, but still mostly accurate.

If you make it to another country as a refugee or asylum seeker, your journey is NOT over. Some refugees and those granted asylum will tell you that things got HARDER for them and their families once they made it to another country. Please see this advice for refugees and asylum seekers already living in another country.

If you want to get a scholarship to study abroad at a university:

For undergraduate studies, you need to have a verifiable diploma from a credible high school or your GED from a credible, verifiable institution, you must have excellent and verifiable grades, you must have a demonstrated aptitude and enthusiasm for study (documents that describe projects you undertook, letters of reference from your teachers describing this aptitude and enthusiasm, etc.), and a demonstrated enthusiasm for a field of study (a blog or an Instagram account or a YouTube channel that you produce yourself, for instance, that is focused on a field of study). You must demonstrate in many different ways that you are an outstanding student that a university would love to fund to study at their institution. You must also have an excellent command of the language of the country where you want to study - that means you need to be ready to do any interviews in that language and writings in that language. You must also be able to say what it is you want to do with a degree from that university - what are your professional goals? And even if you have all this, there is NO guarantee you will get a scholarship. If you even hint that, once abroad, you will not return to your original country, you will be disqualified from any scholarship.
For graduate studies, you need all of the aforementioned and also a body of work that shows you are becoming an expert in a particular field of study.
You must make a connection to a university on your own. No one will do it for you. If you are in a country where USA-based universities or Canadian-based universities work or German-based universities work, etc., you have to do your own research to find out which universities are working where in your country and if their work relates at all to what you want to study or have studied, and you have to try to meet their representatives, in a respectful, appropriate way. If you are in a country where no foreign universities have a presence, you have to do research to find what universities have the kind of programs you want to be a part of, you have to explore what faculty are leading classes you would love to be a part of, and you have to reach out yourself to that faculty to talk about what you want to do. You can also go to Google and type in appropriate keywords, such as scholarships for afghanistan students.
