In addition, USIEF is a source of information on higher education in the United States. USIEF provides educational advising services through an information desk, a reference library, group and individual advising sessions, administers standardized tests, and organizes and participates in U.S. university fairs. Separate group advising sessions provide information on U.S. universities and their application procedures, student visas, pre-departure planning and specific fields of study.
