US VISA Question (non US/Canadian citizen) IMPT QUES...pls help!

Hey
I am planning to attend SABA, I got accepted for the Jan 05 class...
I was just wondering if there were any NON US/CANADIAN citizens who have attended off shore med schs? Also, what was the procedure like to obtain visa status for CLINICALS? If anyone knows of someone who has gone through the process, or are currently going through it, it would be great if you could give me a little more information with the procedure
Any help will be great!
thanks in advance!

....

well it probably depends from what country you are from...if you are from a EU country i think it shouldnt be to hard to obtain visa...but if you are from a country in the middle east, indian, pakistan or any other country from that region it might be harder due to tighted security.....i would probably check with the american embassy or immigration services in the states

Re: ....

I know that for Canadians, they use a B1 visa. This could be true in your case as well but I'm no immigration officier.

Call the school as they will know all of this and then call US immigration to make sure.
