I am helping a Cambodian friend apply for an F-1 student visa.  What
more can we do in order to make it more likely she will get the visa? 
What additional forms need to be completed before her embassy visit
(e.g., is a certificate of health needed)?

WHAT WE HAVE DONE
The student has applied and been accepted to the school and will be
issued the I-20 in two weeks (we will pay the SEVIS fee then); we have
completed DS-156 and DS-158 (no DS-157 needed for a woman student);
she has financial records (bank statement, 2005 tax return, employer's
pay stub) that show that her sponsor has the means to pay for the
school.  She has an appointment on 30-June at the Embassy.



You need not refer us to easy things we already discovered using
Google.  We have already reviewed the information at:

- education.state.gov
- travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1268.html
- Google's answers to "Student Visa Hints"

Looking forward to hearing from you.
