Any Malaysian pursuing graduate degree in the US?

I received my acceptance letter to Parsons last friday, and will be pursuing MA in Fashion Studies. Here's the thing, applying for the school was easy, the difficult and migraine inducing part has just begun. All teh visa application stuff are very confusing and here's hoping someone out there who are also from Malaysia or international students enrolling in Parsons could help me out a little.

I've tried making enquiries to the Malaysian-American Commission on Educational Exchange (MACEE) but it's not helpful as all my calls went unanswered and my emails were ignored.

I'm working in Malaysia. Originally from India, and will be going to the US soon. Not sure yet for which program.

I just read "malaysian" and thought of replying.

Hope you get some answers soon

Hi I'm from Malaysia and will be enrolling at the Univ of Colorado. I don't know much about visa application, as my I-20 hasn't been posted yet. But from what I know, once you receive the I-20, and provide your supporting documents (like proof of financial support etc), then it is just a matter of going to the US Embassy for the visa interview.

As for MACEE, I have only contacted the KL branch before, and my calls were answered. Maybe you just happened to call at a bad time.

Hope this helps.
