Many students from Iran and Afghanistan lose money to agents who promise guaranteed admission or visas. These six checks protect you whoever you work with.
- Check the fees on the university's official website. Every university publishes its tuition; compare any quote with it.
- Pay tuition only to the university's official account. Never to a personal bank account.
- Get the price and scope in writing before paying. Including what happens if you cancel.
- Don't trust a guaranteed visa. Only the embassy decides; nobody can guarantee it.
- Never accept fake or altered documents. It can lead to a refusal and a long‑term ban.
- Ask for your acceptance letter from the university itself. A real acceptance comes from the university or the official authority.
