IMMIGRATION

The applicant must be in good health. People who have tested positive for HIV are not allowed to enter the US.

  • The applicant must obey all US laws, or risk deportation.
  • The applicant must be able to support himself financially during the course of study.
  • The applicant must agree to leave the US after the course of study is complete.

It is important to remember that applying early and providing the requested documents does not guarantee that the student will receive a visa. Also, because each student’s situation is unique, two students from the same country, applying for the same visa may be asked different questions and for different documents.

In addition, students should be aware that obtaining a visa does not automatically guarantee entry into the United States. The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) officer at the port of entry into the US has the authority to deny admission even if a visa has been granted.

LIFE IN THE USA

The United States calls itself “a nation of immigrants.” Immigrants (from Europe) founded this country and have been coming in large numbers (from all over the world) ever since. Therefore you will find that all ethnicities and nationalities are represented, although not to the same extent in every city. The country is vast (over 9 million square kilometers) and populous (over 275 million people). In the US, you can encounter and experience almost any climate, landscape, lifestyle, and culture imaginable. By selecting the right location, you will be able to find a living experience that is perfect for you.

Even though there is so much variety in America, there is still an “American culture” that may be quite different from your own. While much of American culture is exported through television, films, and consumer products, there are some aspects that you do not encounter until you live in the US. For a brief description of these aspects, refer to American culture, customs and habits. To gain a better understanding of what life is like in different regions across the US, refer to USA regions. Refer to the other pages in this section to find out how to perform common tasks, such as opening a bank account and choosing housing.
