**Бұл бет әзірге ағылшын тілінде көрсетіледі**

Толық мазмұн осы тілге аударылуда. Кез келген сұрақ бойынша кеңесшілерімізге өз тіліңізде жазыңыз.

## Red flags

- "Guaranteed admission" or "guaranteed visa" with no stated conditions
- No written contract or an unclear fee
- Asking you to pay application fees into the consultancy's account
- Pushing you toward specific universities
- Fee/duration information without an official source
- Pressure for a quick prepayment
- Student reviews you cannot verify

## What a good firm does

- Provides the scope of service, fee and refund terms in writing
- States that university application fees are paid directly to the university
- Shows the official source for its information
- Promises the controllable parts of the process instead of guarantees

## How to protect yourself

- Open the university application under your own account or confirm that you own it
- Get a receipt for every payment
- Confirm directly with the university by email
