First-hand experience
The guidance is shaped by people who have navigated the U.S. student journey themselves, not by a distant process manual.
About IQ ConsultUS
WE DIDN’T LEARNTHE JOURNEY FROM THE OUTSIDE.WE LIVED IT.
IQ ConsultUS grew from first-hand experience navigating the U.S. student pathway and from personally helping students and families make sense of the decisions around it.
How it started
PERSONAL GUIDANCE CAME FIRST.THE BUSINESS GREW AROUND IT.
Founded in 2020, IQ ConsultUS began by helping students and families within our own network navigate university choices, applications, visa preparation and the move to the United States. Referrals followed because the work stayed personal.
As the number of journeys grew, the process became more structured without losing the direct involvement it was built on. That remains the point: strategy and systems matter, but the student should never disappear inside them.
What shapes the work
GUIDANCE BUILT AROUNDTHE WHOLE JOURNEY.
Student-first strategy
Goals, academic direction, affordability and fit come before application volume.
Connected guidance
Admissions, visa preparation, transition and the stages after arrival are treated as one connected journey.
Personal involvement
IQ ConsultUS is deliberately hands-on. The people students meet are the people shaping the work with them.
The people behind the guidance
PERSONAL INVOLVEMENTIS PART OF THE MODEL.
