What embassies look for, common rejection reasons, and how we pre-verify your packet.
This is a sample article body for demonstration. In production, connect this route to your CMS or MDX files. The guidance below mirrors the topics we cover in live consultations.

Common pitfalls
- Mismatched financial narratives across COE and embassy forms.
- Last-minute translations without notarization buffers.
- Ignoring backup cities when rent or program caps shift.
