Thread: My friend Ahmed Abdel-Fattah, a paediatrician in Egypt, was offered a place at Harvard a few months back, to do a Masters of Public Health. HARVARD! Not only that but he's a presidential scholar, meaning the president of Harvard uni offered him a full scholarship. Dr Abdel-Fattah applied for his Visa almost two months ago. Still no word. He has followed up numerous times and is always told the same thing. He has already organized everything, paid for his flights, told the hospital where he works at etc. Still no Visa.
