Testimonial: F-1Visa to Lincoln University

Thursday, January 29th, 2009

First of all I would like to thank Y-Axis for helping me to get my F1-Visa to Lincoln University.

My H1-B Visa was first rejected in the year 2007 and so I thought the embassy will not grant me any visa but later on I got to know about the Work and Study Program offered by Y-Axis. I went to the Banjara Hills office where my First Consultant Sumera Fatima had given all the details about the Visa.

So, I decided to apply for it and after Maneesha was my process consultant also provided best of the service to get my I-20.

After getting my I-20 I was sent to somajiguda office where Sumit Thomas was my Process Consultant – Visa Dept. He helped me a lot in the visa documentation and paperwork and finally I got my visa on 31st Dec’08. 

Thanks a lot Y-Axis.
