The Unsung Heroes: A Bangladeshi Studentâs Journey to an International Student Visa: In a quiet, rural village of Barishalâsurrounded by rivers, canals, and lush green fieldsâwas born a boy named Rayan Hasan. Coming from a modest middle-income family, dreaming big wasnât exactly affordable. But Rayan believed that no one can stop you from dreaming.
His ultimate goal?â To study in the United States, work in the field of technology, and one day put his village on the world map.
đš Family and Early Struggles: Rayanâs father, Harun Mia, was a rickshaw-puller. His mother, Shahana Begum, was a homemaker managing household chores under constant financial strain. But even with daily struggles, the family valued education deeply. His father always told him, âYou just study, leave the rest to Allah.â
This single sentence became Rayanâs fuel.
đš The First Sparks of Belief: In school, Rayan was always a top performer. His teacher, Mr. Saiful, once said: âOne day, youâll go abroad and do something great. Your brilliance will shine globally.â Those words lit a fire inside him.
In college, he began searching for international scholarships and university pportunities. But he had no internet connection. Then stepped in his childhood friend Jubayer, who sold his desktop computer just so Rayan could buy a second-hand, slightly broken laptop.
đš Relentless Preparation : With limited access to the internet and a basic laptop, Rayan began preparing for TOEFL and SAT. He borrowed English books from the college library, studied pronunciation using YouTube subtitles, and practiced dailyâoften in silence, often unnoticed. People around him mocked him: âWho goes to the U.S. from a Bangladeshi village? They wonât give you a visa.â But Rayanâs belief was stronger than the noise. He knew the path would be tough, but not impossible.
đš The Turning Point: CIVA USA Consulting As things progressed, Rayan reached out to CIVA USA Consulting. They offered completely free support, including: DS-160 form completion, Visa interview preparation, Scholarship and SOP guidance, University application assistance, After weeks of hard work, Rayan finally received an email: âCongratulations, youâve been accepted with a 75% scholarship, including a Field Research Assistantship (FRA).â The founder of CIVA told him,
âWe donât just process visasâwe help shape futures. You represent more than yourself; you represent hope from a small village in Bangladesh.â
đš The Visa Interview: A Moment of Truth At 6 AM, Rayan stood in front of the U.S. Embassy in Dhaka, holding neatly prepared documentsâhis scholarship letter, financial records, and study plan. His mind echoed with voices of his father, mother, Mr. Saiful, Jubayer, and the CIVA team. Consular Officer: âWhy do you want to study in the U.S.?â
Rayan: âBecause I want to bring advanced cybersecurity skills back to Bangladesh to protect my countryâs digital future.â A few minutes later, he heard the golden words:
âYour visa is approved.â
đš The True Foundation Behind Success: Rayan may be the name on the visa, but the journey belongs to many:
âĸ đ Mr. Saiful, the teacher who believed in him
âĸ đģ Jubayer, the friend who gave up his computer
âĸ đ CIVA USA INC Consulting, the mentors who guided him for affordable fees
âĸ â¤ī¸ His parents, whose silent sacrifices built his strength
Today, Rayan studies Cybersecurity at a prestigious U.S. university. Heâs involved in research and international student leadership. But he never forgets the journey. He says, âMany helped me from the shadows. Their names wonât appear in headlines, but their light made my success possible.â
