How to get a quick US visa

It is indeed a matter of great prestige for a scholar to present his/her wok in international conference. This presentation may be in the form of oral and poster presentation. What so ever the chance is, I personally think one should avail it.   I have a same chance to present my work in AAPS( American Association of pharmaceutical scientists) ,Chicago USA. 

Whenever the US is involved, hundreds of questions arise in our minds from visa to travel, food, accommodation and transportation. In this blog I shall only concentrate on the visa process. As being a foreigner you need to concentrate on this part of your travel to US.As it is the key and starting point of your journey. Moreover, one reason of writing this blog is that so many questions raised in our community, Pakistani Students in South Korean how to travel to US, visa requirements and how to proceed.??

 Let me thanks Asad Masood Khattak , because of his timely help ,I was able to plan and travel to US in a nice way. It was because of his guidelines that I was able to get my visa in just 1 month. It is also a fact that there are so many differences in believes, religion, approaches to life and most importantly the current situation of South Asia. Also I heard from many people that Pakistani is discriminated in US airports on the name of so called security concerns.  So I was really conscious about all those things, which is just a natural phenomenon.
