What is Junior Hockey in the USA?
Many schools and academies in the USA are interested in the development and improvement of their athletes. That is why school premises, as a rule, are equipped with a great infrastructure for both summer and winter sports. A fantastic combination of secondary education and sports practices is attractive not only to USA based, but also for international students.
Most of schools show great interest in talented young athletes and often provide scholarships to partially or fully cover the students’ educational expenses.
Hockey Leagues Diversity in the US
The largest league – USHL prep – a leader in NHL and NCAA level graduates.
MPHL – a North American elite hockey league, after which athletes can continue playing in NCAA (college league).
Age Range of the Hockey Players
We are offering our clients programs starting middle school, 14 years old and up to 21 years old. As per your individual request, we can offer you the best variant that is most appropriate in your situation.
Training process
As a rule, practices are scheduled on daily basis (weekends include the games) and include ice practices and gym exercise practices.
We are always providing a training schedule before signing a contract with a client, so an athlete could be aware of the frequency of practices and games.
School Transfer Process of the F1 visa holders within the US
It is a very common situation that the students change the school in the mod-year in the USA. In order to complete a correct transfer process a student needs to follow required rules and regulations. SEVIS system change record is the most important part of that process. As per clients’ request, we can help to make that process smoother and complete as per all SEVIS requirements.
Perspectives and Expectations
If a hockey player is talented enough, his chance to move to the USHL increases. This means further career development and great future educational opportunities.
Deadlines and Admission Process
If you are planning to start a school year in August, we strongly recommend to start preparing documents in December of the proceeding school year.
-
I do not have a card that works for the USA and bank transactions in Russia are currently blocked, what should I do?Usually, our clients are getting cards from another country (Uzbekistan, Tadzhikistan, Azerbaijan), we can give you contacts of appropriate banks.
-
Are school deposits refundable?Our service fee is non-refundable, we have this in our contract. The deposits and payments for study can be refundable dependable on a school contract.
-
Can we reapply for the USA or Canada visa after visa rejection at the Consulate’s department?It makes sense to reapply if you have new circumstances (you need to provide the supporting documents), we are not charging additionally for reapplying for a visa, an applicant is paying only the Consulate fee again.
-
Can I use the same paid consulate fee to apply in different US Consulate departments (in different countries)?No, a Consulate fee is non-refundable and can be used only for a country it was paid for.
-
What must be the bank balance statement sum?The sum covering expenses for the whole trip. For example, if the study in Canada costs 50 000 dollars, a bank statement with 2000 dollars balance will not be sufficient. A small sum on the bank account as a rule confirms your financial inability.
-
What are the statistics in visa denials and which country is the best to apply for a visa?Official statistics are provided only by the Department of State. The link below shows the official statistics. Report of the Visa Office 2022 (state.gov)
-
Can “the bot” schedule my Consulate’s appointment?No, the system is generated the way that the capture of the slots online is impossible. For each applicant we need to fill out DS160 application and a personal profile must be created. Do not believe in “bots” and trust your visa application process to the qualified specialists only. We are always providing a profile access to a client and a final version of DS160 draft for verification before the application submission. It means a client can always check the personal profile anytime.
-
We have an agent, is cooperation possible with third parties?First of all, we need to clarify that AGENT is a licensed and qualified professional, most third parties do not have necessary legal documents. Do not sign agreements with suspicious individuals. We are working directly with parents and schools in the USA.
-
We would like to apply for nonimmigrant work visa – O/P types, what should we do?These types of visas as many immigrant visas are processed through USCIS in the USA, so you will need help of the licensed USA attorney. We can share contacts of reliable attorneys.
