American Visa Hurdles for International B-schools aspirant
Business schools are doing their best to help foreign students through Americas tougher visa process

After Nadim Saad got his MBA from INSEAD in France last year, he planned to go to the Wharton School in Pennsylvania on a two-month exchange programme.
