MEA apostille for US visa (F-1, H-1B, J-1), green card applications, USCIS submissions, and educational credential evaluation.

India is the second-largest source of international students in the USA after China, with over 300,000 Indian students enrolled in 2023–24.

Overview

The United States remains the most sought-after destination for Indian postgraduate students, with Indian nationals dominating F-1 student visa admissions, especially in STEM fields. Indian professionals are also the largest group of H-1B visa holders, with hundreds of thousands working in technology, healthcare, and other sectors.

The USA is a Hague Convention member and accepts MEA apostille. USCIS, universities, and state authorities may require apostilled documents for visa applications, green card submissions, and credential verification. NACES-member credential evaluation agencies (like WES, ECE, IERF) also often require apostilled documents.

SiZA Global provides MEA apostille for F-1 student visa, H-1B, J-1, O-1, and immigrant visa document preparation, as well as credential evaluation package preparation.

Important Information & Requirements

USA accepts MEA apostille. No US embassy attestation is required for most documents.

For F-1 visa, your I-20 from the university and SEVIS payment are more critical than apostille — but apostille may be required for certain state licensing or credentialing.

For H-1B and professional licensing (like USMLE, NCLEX for nurses, PE exam), apostilled degree certificates are often required.

The World Education Services (WES) credential evaluation is commonly required for US immigration. WES may require apostilled documents — SiZA Global prepares complete WES-ready apostille packages.
