"I am a post doctoral researcher at BYU and appeared for an J-1 visa interview. Though the course focuses on students appearing for an F-1 visa interview but helped me immensely explaining to me the psychology behind the questions asked by the visa officer. I would highly recommend this course to all students aiming higher ed in the states. Cheers!"
