Why Fahim Abbasi

Career Counselling and Analysis

Principal student dilemmas affecting study decisions considering factors as:

Academic background
Future academic plans in terms of course and University / College (if any) and any specific preferences
Long-term career plans (if any)
Opportunities in Pakistan as compared to other Countries
Financial ability and work background

Students are many times unaware about the existing opportunities in Pakistan. All relevant factors including the above mentioned are considered and discussed upon to arrive at a decision challenging the viability of studying abroad as compared to considering the same in Pakistan.

Information and Decision Making (Select of Right Univeristy + Country)

Students are assisted by the FA&A team member in making a final choice in terms of the right course and the right University / College in a specific Country balancing the student’s requirements and the eligibility factor.

It is significant to understand various offerings of a country and University should the student need to be on the right path of achieving the long-term goal. Further, certain destinations are exceptionally known for their education relating to a particular industry for instance Switzerland for ‘Hospitality and Tourism’, etc.

60 % of the problem that the students face is the selection of the ‘right mix’. Once this is achieved, admissions are the responsibility of FA&A. Students not only save money in this process as the applications are only made to specific Institutions (considering the application fees that most Universities charge) but also save valuable time – perhaps a pre-requisite trait for any successful student

Document Preparation, Application Processing and Admission at the selected University

A good application with all the required details and documentation:

Creates a positive impact on the Institution, thereby increasing the prospect of securing admission and
Also marginally reduces the inconvenience that might be caused to the University / College on account of reasons as missing documents, incomplete application, etc.

However, the students are often unaware about the application procedure and the documentation to be submitted. FA&A team member assists all the students with the precise documentation that is required to be submitted along with the application forms. FA&A team keeps regular contact with the Universities / Colleges regarding the status and progress of students’ applications. Therefore, FA&A students are relieved of the follow-up activity.

Student could leverage the expertise of FA&A team members to give them ‘the edge’ in this extremely competitive admissions process. FA&A team members will assist the students edit their ‘essays / statement of purpose’ and provide insights on just the right constituents that make documents unique and personal. It is rather significant to note that the visa officer rightly needs to review all of the students’ documents (academic and financial), thereby making the documentation all the more significant.

FA&A also sends its ‘recommendations’ highlighting individual students’ strengths, explaining reasons for a student to be granted an admission. Universities in general consider this in their decision. Some Universities request for consultant’s confidential assessment of the applicant / student. English language tests (IELTS / TOEFL) may be waived on the basis of satisfactory feedback of the student by the consultant

Visa Procedure and Documentation

Once the student has received an offer letter from the University / College, FA&A details its students with the visa procedure to be followed in the country and guides them in preparing the various documents required for obtaining a valid student visa.

FA&A also counsels the students for their visa interview through mock interview sessions. With regular research on the different visa procedures and not underestimating the reviews of other students, FA&A is in a better situation to guide the students at all stages.

Accommodation (Living in a Foreign Country)
