81%

Student visa refusal rate for Nepal in 2025

Most applicants were refused. A strong study plan, real funds and good interview preparation matter more than ever.

Soralight report, via Spotlight Nepal, Jul 2026

1,671

Nepalis went to the US to study in 2026

Out of nearly 66,000 who went abroad for higher education. Fewer applicants also means less competition for those who prepare well.

Myths vs reality

What you've heard, and what's actually true.

Myth

"If my documents are good, the visa is sure."

Reality

The F-1 decision is made at a short interview, often just a few minutes. Your answers must be clear and match your documents. That's why we train you for it.

Myth

"I need perfect English to pass."

Reality

Officers need clear, honest answers in simple English. An accent or a small grammar mistake is fine. Confidence and knowing your own plan matter far more.

Myth

"I must pay the consultancy upfront."

Reality

You pay us nothing. The only payments are official fees to universities and the US government, each due at a specific step that we show you in advance.

Myth

"Only rich families can afford the US."

Reality

Many universities give merit scholarships to international students, and graduate assistantships can cover tuition and pay a monthly stipend.

Myth

"I'll work full-time and pay off my loan while studying."

Reality

F-1 students can work up to 20 hours a week on campus during term. Plan your funding as if you won't earn while studying.

Myth

"Any university is fine, just get the I-20."

Reality

Officers notice weak schools and random choices. A university that fits your background and budget makes a stronger case.

Our promise

Walk into Maharajgunj confident.

English speaking check

Good news on funding

Scholarships are real, and we'll help you find them.

Many US universities offer merit scholarships to international undergraduates. For master's and PhD students, teaching and research assistantships can waive tuition and pay a monthly stipend. Fulbright Nepal funds graduate study too. We shortlist universities that give the most aid to students like you.

Working in the US after graduation depends on OPT and H-1B rules, which are changing in 2026. We post every change on 50 States Watch.
