Now that you have got your visa, I must tell you about medical insurance which is a pre-requisite for all F-1 and J-1 visa students going abroad. Once you arrive here, you must show the proof that you have a medical insurance. Otherwise you are not allowed to register for courses. I did a mistake by not taking Student Medical Insurance when I was in India. After I came here, I had to hurry to get a policy from India. It will cost you twice-thrice if you get it here. I advise you guys to plan it out early. Also inform any other guys that you know of, so that they could plan early and avoid late rush. ICICI lombard is one of the very few insurance policies from India that are accepted.

I have a wonderful and pleasant experience with ICICI Lombard. The ICICI Lombard guys continually help me with policy benefits and their prompt follow-ups set them apart from competitors in Student Medical Insurance.

The Online policy buying steps are clear, clean and straight forward and can be easily done on your own. I bought Student Medical Insurance for my younger brother who is pursuing his studies in US. The University Search tool on the website guides me in choosing the right plan.
