Travel Prior to Program Not Advised
(This news item appeared in the fall 2006 IES Student Visa Bulletin, 
however, the advice should be followed by all students whose study 
abroad country requires that you apply for a student visa - no matter 
what program/university you are attending!)
"Student visa regulations are getting more complicated for many 
countries, and students need to plan further in advance than in the 
past. IES strongly advises students participating in ANY IES program 
that requires a visa to NOT leave the U.S. for any international 
travel before their program begins. If a student must be out of the 
country more than a couple of days immediately prior to the program 
start date, there is no guarantee that the consulate will process the 
visa in time for the student's departure. It is important for 
students to understand that all consulates process visa applications 
according to the start date of the study abroad program and not 
according to personal travel plans."
