Recently I read a story in the Nature (www.nature.com) how not even the best schools in the US, such as MIT, were able to get Iranian graduate schools visa. (There was a story how two very brilliant students who were accept at MIT were not allowed in the US because they were Iranian).that would indicate that unless you have a compelling reason to come to the US, such as a relative, it would be very difficult to get a visa for the US.
