Student Visa Questions

[nickname303]

Greetings Expats!

My questions concerns the student visa. Perhaps some of you out there have gone through the process of obtaining the visa and would care to share your experiences? To be precise, I'm looking to get the visa in order to study psychology (licenciatura) at the UBA. So far, the major stumbling block has been getting my high school diploma accredited (I'm from the good ol USA). Any tips are welcome!!

many thanks!

Nick
