I don't see why not. If you did all your learning in Eglish and can speak, read and write it fluently then you should be okay. You may need to have your university state in writing that this erquirement has been waived for you due to your historical educational background. This can act as a suppourting document.

Janice, not only one nationality uses this yahoo question/answers. So you have to give more info about your country, city etc. How can a student from another country help you?\n\nPlease accommodate us with more details. we will see whether we can help.

With all those things under your belt, you should be more than able to get a scholarship. Ask a school advisor (if you think it's ok) if they have any information about student visas and scholarships. YOu can also search the internet for schools that accept student visas and offer foriegn scholarship initiatives. Good Luck!

I-20 is for student visa, not a tourist one.\n\nIt is a form that a university sends you after you apply to them and they admit you. You take this form to US embassy/consulate and apply for the F-1 student visa.

Basically there are only three requirements.\n1. You have to have a student visa\n2. You have to be accepted at the university\n3. You have to have enough money to pay the tuition\n\nApply at the university where you want to attend and once you've been accepted, then they'll help you with the rest.\nGood luck!

I think your best bet is to look into a student visa. Go through a list of American colleges that you would like to attend and look at their websites. Each website will have a section to mention their stand on International students. Most colleges need to fill a quota for international students so they do offer scholarships, and being admitted to one of these schools will allow you to apply and receive a student visa while you are studying in college. hope this helps.

If you can secure a job you then can easily get a visa to go to another country.  You can also apply for a student visa at a US consulate.  You may or may not get it, but it is worth a try.  If you apply to the institution you want to attend before applying for the visa you will increase your chances of getting it. Your chances increase if you are accepted to the institution before applying for the visa.  The consulate is going to require a lot of documentation.  Check the US Department of State website to see what documents you need. http://www.state.gov/

If you come here on a student visa you will not legally be allowed to work.  You must come with enough funds to see you through your planned period of study.  \nThere are many opportunities, do some web searches for what you are interested in...;

If you get caught you will be deported and your visa status revoked.  I advise you to seek employment on your school campus, this is the only form of employment INS will accept for F-1 students.  Please re think your choice, iI know it is hard being an International student and not working or working part-time, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

Let me preface by apologizing for the long answer, but this the process for obtaining a student visa is very long. Also, I'm assuming you will be an undergraduate.\n\nIf you have the money, or have people who will say they are willing to sponsor you, it's not that hard. The hard part is getting the money (or making it look like you have the money). Most international students admission applications require you to show  that you can attend the school. Some allow you just to state that you can pay. Private universities usually want to see the money in an account before they'll even consider your application. Public universities give you a lot more leeway (although, you'll still probably need a job letter from you or your parents); if you're qualified they'll most likely admit you and worry about the money later. This is because most international student applications are due way in advance, and scholarship and loan disbursements don't usually occur until just before school starts.\n\nThe first step is applying to whatever university you wish to attend. Once you are accepted, get in touch with their international student office and request an I-20. You'll probably have to give them copies of your (or your sponsor/parents) bank statements and job letters. As long as you look like you have some money saved up, they'll grant you the I-20.\n\nOnce you get the I-20, you must pay the SEVIS I-901 fee. It is a one time $100 fee paid to the government organization that automatically tracks people who get student visas. Basically, if you're granted a student visa and don't show up to school, the government's going to look into it. When you pay the fee, you'll get Form I-797. This is your receipt.\n\nNow you can apply for an F-1 visa. There are two ways to do this: by mail or in person. If you do it by mail, it can take up to two to three months. To do it in person, you must go to the U.S. embassy in your home country; this can take as little as one day. \n\nTo get the visa, you MUST actually have the money in one or several accounts. You must obtain a job letter and bank statement going back three months for everyone sponsoring you. When I needed to get my visa, we did not have nearly the amount of money we needed saved up, but my parents work in the U.S. and knew we could pay for college with their salaries. But I couldn't get the visa because we didn't have the money in hand. So, we got job letters, bank statements, and sponsorship letters from family members. The sponsorship letters just said "I, ______, agree to provide ______ monies in the amount of ______ per year until the completion of his/her studies." They don't actually have to give you any money; they just need to say that they will.\n\nTake your I-20, SEVIS receipt (form I-797), financial documents, acceptance letter, visa application fee, passport, and any other important documents to the U.S. Embassy in your country. If everything is in order, you should receive and F-1 visa that lasts 5 years.\n\nThe link below is a government site. It's a start.\nGood luck.

There is no law that prohibits you from applying to universities, however it may be better if you just apply as a permanent resident once you reach the US since you will be eligible for financial aid consideration. If you apply as an international student, that would mean that you would need to apply for an F-1 visa and that is not your case. Contact the international students counselor at the university of your choice and ask her/him what would be the best route for you. They will be in a better position to point you in the right direction. Good luck!

I am currently studying in Australia; \nthe first thing I did was apply at the uni, after you get accepted you will receive a Coe, this is a letter of offer and acceptance.\nOnce you have this; which you will only get when you ahve paid the entire tuition; you can apply for a student visa at the Australia Embassy or online. (please note that application times can vary depending on where you are from; they will do a complete background check as will as looking at your criminal records) \nyou will be expected to prove that you have enough cash in the bank to support yourself for the entire course, and of course you will probably be medically examed.\n\nGood Luck

Yes, people at the Consulate are going to be suspicious if the names don't match. That might jeopardize your visa entirely. Can you ask the university to speed up the process of sending you a corrected I-20?

You can always come to India on a tourist visa, and after getting admission in the institution of your choice, transfer your tourist visa into students visa. The ministry of internal affairs takes care of this. \n\nAs for the guy who answered you with whether you are having trouble with english..probably he is un-aware that since 2004 India ranks 3rd in overall performance in worldwide level and standard of education, coming just next to Switzerland and Canada...
