Krista has been super helpful since the first day! After the first call, she gave me step by step instructions followed with an email. I emailed her right away when I got to the next step in the application, and she would be let me know my next steps and helped when I confused. I've called several times throughout the process and she's always been genuinely excited when I move onto the next phase; and would update me on if there is delay. I'd recommend this program to anyone since they have a variety of countries you can choose from, and are really kind.
