Hi folks,
Hope you are all having good time.
I have already my offer letter for my Ph.D in computer science in my hand. I would like to know, is it an advantage if I pay the year 1 school fees in advance? before I apply for the visa?

Thanks in advance: :-* :-*

I was told by the international advisor at Mt. Royal that you pay after you get the visa.

And have you got your visa? I've read many threads now and most people advice for the payment.

The above requirement can vary from college to college etc

Since you already have the offer letter in your hands, you do not need to pay tuition fees in advance.

Some schools ask for a payment of the first semester fees before they issue the offer letter.

But the thing is most people are saying that with the payment of 1 year in advance, you will enhance the chance of getting visa! Is it true?

That is not true at all. Will your travel history change if you pay 2 year course fee in advance?

your travel history will change only when you travel to many different countries spend some time there and then come back to your country of residence/birth i.e in your case Iran

paying tuition fees in advance is not even a requirement of a embassy
