Hi there, Antipodean Friends!

I would like to ask some advice from you good folk.

I have a friend who lives in NSW, who would like to come to the US to study and maybe immigrate.

I would like some pointers from anyone who has done this, or knows anything about it.

Thanks.

Hi.

If there are no illegal background ,court cases pending , they are able to get a passport visa & all documents as to pertaining to the person, birth certs all those details birth Mum & dad . why they are going , leaveing documents from over here . & documents for landing in the U S or where ever.

you need to see immigratstion , passports , have pics taken,

The time you are allowed to stay & if your visa needs to be renewed . possibale of returning back to place of departure to have it renewed, now if things have been changed then check all that out first,

Thats a start.

as to staying in The U S as a resident you need to check your side , immigratstion. & so on. & i think info from here will be checked. both sides of the water,

hope that helps,

serene56: Hi venere


Hi serenewave

Why the comfort ??....confused

I was stunned that someone could believe there was only one terrorist in this world.laugh

And moreso, that because Bin Laden 'the terorist' has been laden to restroll eyes, that it is now safe to travel( 'safe' meaning safe from terrorist attacks)

Kill 'em all let Yaweh ... errrr ... Jehovah ... errr ... Allah sort 'em out.

At least they (all the religious nuts) are increasing my chances of dying with a sword in my hand and so entering Valhalah.

Hey guys.

Thanks for your posts.

It is not for a prospective partner I ask, I am already settled here from Ireland!

It is a friend of ours who wants to come and study in the USA and wanted to know about scholarships, or educational visas.

I know about the general US Immigration requirements to live here permanently, but not so much about educational and study visas.

Some parts of America are totally dangerous, too expensive, too ugly or too many people.

You want advice? Research the Pacific Northwest states like Oregon and Washington, California is way too weird, too many restrictive laws and a high cost of living. But it does have a massive liberal learning institution, and some parts of California are quite nice, I was born just south of San Fransisco and lived in CA for half my life, I currently live in Alaska and I would not go anywhere in the lower 48 unless I really had too. Its a social distress time with the rising fuel costs, the loss of jobs and a totally inept government.

If I had to pick any place in America to return to it would be inland California like Sacramento or slightly east into Nevada.

Forget Los Angeles.
