Job Summary
We are looking for a detail-oriented and empathetic Visa & Loan Officer to manage the critical "Post-Admit" phase for our study abroad aspirants. Once a student receives their admission letter, you will take full ownership of their journey. Your primary goal is to ensure a 100% visa success rate and seamless financial processing.
You will act as the bridge between students, admission experts, financial institutions, and embassies, handling everything from loan sanctions to pre-departure logistics.

● Regulatory Updates: Stay updated on changing immigration laws, embassy protocols, and visa fee structures to provide accurate advice.
Education Loan Assistance

● Liaison with Banks: Coordinate with partner banks, NBFCs,
and international lenders to expedite loan sanction letters required for visa filing.
● Documentation: Assist parents and students in gathering necessary financial papers (ITR, property valuation, solvency certificates) to speed up loan disbursement.
Interview Preparation & Coaching
● Mock Interviews: Conduct rigorous mock visa interviews (specifically for US F1 visas) to build student confidence.
● Feedback Loop: Provide constructive feedback on body language, intent of return, and financial explanation to ensure students are "Embassy Ready."
Cross-Collaboration
● Internal Handovers: Collaborate closely with Admission Experts to receive student files immediately after they secure university admits.
● Status Reporting: Maintain a dashboard of student visa statuses and loan approvals to keep the management and admission teams informed.
Post-Visa Logistics (Pre-Departure)
● Travel Arrangements: Assist students with flight bookings, explaining baggage allowances, and transit visa requirements if necessary.
● Accommodation & Forex: Help students connect with accommodation providers and secure Forex cards or wire transfers for university tuition fees.
● Briefings: Organize "Pre-Departure Briefing" sessions to educate students on cultural adaptation, airport pickup, and initial settlement.
Requirements:
● Experience: Minimum 2–4 years of experience in Study Abroad Visa processing and Education Loan facilitation. ● Knowledge: Deep understanding of visa policies for the USA (F1/J1), UK (Tier 4), Canada (SDS/Non-SDS), and Australia.
● Financial Acumen: Basic understanding of banking terms, loan eligibility criteria, interest rates, and solvency documentation.
