Need advice: I am trying to bring a student from Iran to my lab in a VISIT visa. Although she has all the paperwork and bank statements to demonstrate she has required funds, the US embassy in Turkey denied her visa, saying they did not believe she had the funds. How can I help?

Taking visitors around Seattle and seeing it through their eyes reminds me of how great it is to live here. Mountains, oceans, lake, trails, greenery⦠what a privilege it is to have a secure job, health care, housing, etc. so I can enjoy this beautiful place. #gratitude

Thank you, @amcauce for you commitment to expanding education access for all. My science is better, and my life is richer, because of the diverse @UW undergraduates who participate. All 2-yr college grads with GPA >2.7 get automatic admission to UW. Thatβs a program that matters.

The @UW remains firmly committed to creating opportunity and expanding access to world-class education for students from all backgrounds. This is central to our public mission as the University FOR Washington.
