How To Make U.S. Student Visa

If you’ve decided that an American education is right for you, the only thing standing in your way is a little bit of paperwork. Whether you’re bound for Harvard or cosmetology school, all international students studying in the United States are required to obtain a student or exchange visa. Here’s a breakdown of everything you’ll need to know about the visa process.

There are three types of student visas, each with its own slightly different set of requirements. Students attending an accredited U.S. college, university, or English language institute will need an F-1 visa or a J-1 visa. J-1 students tend to be those that are government sponsored, on exchange programs for a semester or year, or U.S. government sponsored. Students involved in non-academic pursuits at either trade or vocational institutions will need an M-1 visa. Although the stipulations of each type of visa vary slightly, all three visas require the student to maintain a full course load.

The first step toward studying in the United States is to get accepted into an American institution or exchange program. Once you are accepted, you will have to provide a financial guarantee showing that you have the funds to attend the school. The school will review and verify your financial information, and then will send you a Certificate of Eligibility (form I-20 for the F-1 Student Visa or DS-2019 for the J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa). You can schedule your visa interview once you have your Certificate of Eligibility; make sure to pay the SEVIS fee and the visa application fee before your interview date.

The next step is to complete a visa application (form DS-156) and a contact information/work history statement (form DS-158); both forms are available at your local U.S. embassy or consulate office or online at http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/forms/forms_1342.html. In addition, the DS-157 form is required of all male applicants aged 16 to 45 and all applicants over age 16 (male or female) who are citizens of Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Sudan, or Syria.

Note: The new DS-160 online visa application will eventually replace the DS-156 and DS-158 forms. Please visit the Web site noted above for a list of locations where the DS-160 is currently available.

Additional Items

You will also need to provide the following:

A passport valid for at least six months after you enter the United States

One passport-size photograph (photo requirements are available online at http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/info/info_1287.html)

A receipt for the nonrefundable visa processing fee (from a specific bank in each country that is identified on the consulate Web page)

A SEVIS receipt (see www.ice.gov/sevis/i901/index.html)

Transcripts and diplomas from institutions you’ve previously attended (not always required and may need to be translated)

Documented proof that you or your parents will have enough money to cover tuition and living expenses for the duration of your stay

Documentation that you intend to return to your home country after finishing your course of study; this type of documentation can include (but isn’t limited to) proof of property or assets remaining in the home country, proof of immediate relatives in the home country, or letters from future employers

Once you’ve organized your documentation, you’ll need to make an appointment for your visa interview with your local U.S. embassy or consulate. Procedures on obtaining a visa interview vary from country to country. To get the most accurate information, consult the U.S. embassy Web site for your country at www.embassy.state.gov.

The Interview

Tracking down the documentation is the hard part. Once you’ve scheduled the interview, you will only be asked questions verifying why you’re traveling to the United States, what you intend to study, and when you intend to leave. The interview will take place at your local U.S. embassy or consulate office. Although the length of the interview will vary from office to office, interviews are typically very short, lasting no longer than 30 minutes—in fact, only two to five minutes in most cases!

Visas can be issued up to 120 days (four months) before the scheduled date of departure. In order to make sure that you have your visa before your first day of classes, apply as soon as possible and provide enough lead time to wait for processing, as well as an interview. If you do not receive your visa within two to three weeks of completing your interview, contact your embassy or consulate to track your application packet.

After You Arrive

You can arrive in the U.S. no earlier than 30 days before the start date on your immigration document (I-20 or DS-2019). If you will arrive later than the start date on your immigration document, you should notify the school so that your arrival date can be deferred. After you’ve received your visa and arrived in the United States, you are required to report to your institution’s international programs office to ensure that you’ve been officially registered by the school. Most international offices will provide information on when to report, but if there is no information, you should report within 15 days of the start date on the immigration document. Designed as a one-stop resource for non-native college students, the international programs office will be able to answer any questions you may have regarding immigration rules, visa or passport renewals, obtaining financial aid, or on-campus opportunities for foreign students. Please check your pre-arrival packet for your institution’s policy.

1. When to apply those visas
2. Things that I needed to apply
3. How many type of visas
4. How many visas can I get

Polar Bear

Polar bears roam the Arctic ice sheets and swim in that region's coastal waters. They are very strong swimmers, and their large front paws, which they use to paddle, are slightly webbed. Some polar bears have been seen swimming hundreds of miles from land—though they probably cover most of that distance by floating on sheets of ice.

Polar bears live in one of the planet's coldest environments and depend on a thick coat of insulated fur, which covers a warming layer of fat. Fur even grows on the bottom of their paws, which protects against cold surfaces and provides a good grip on ice. The bear's stark white coat provides camouflage in surrounding snow and ice. But under their fur, polar bears have black skin—the better to soak in the sun's warming rays.

These powerful predators typically prey on seals. In search of this quarry they frequent areas of shifting, cracking ice where seals may surface to breathe air. They also stalk ice edges and breathing holes. If the opportunity presents itself, polar bears will also consume carcasses, such as those of dead whales. These Arctic giants are the masters of their environment and have no natural enemies.

Females den by digging into deep snow drifts, which provide protection and insulation from the Arctic elements. They give birth in winter, usually to twins. Young cubs live with their mothers for some 28 months to learn the survival skills of the far north. Females aggressively protect their young, but receive no help from their solitary male mates. In fact, male polar bears may even kill young of their species.

                         

Polar bears are attractive and appealing, but they are powerful predators that do not typically fear humans, which can make them dangerous. Near human settlements, they often acquire a taste for garbage, bringing bears and humans into perilous proximity.

Short Story

Click  here to read the story, enjoy!

Summary 

Well, this is only my point of view of these short story. The title is The School, written by Donald Barthelme. Actually I haven't fully got what these short story tells... The plot of these story is in a school, most like deadly school. I call it deadly school because there is tragedy almost in every corner and nothing seems to be live long. The words in these story is well arranged which make me really confuse with the meaning.. I mean there are many mystery message and humor maybe behind every words and sentence and I think the author wants the readers to explore these story which make these short story very good to read! In my opinion, the conclusion is these story contain many metaphor of the story's plot with the real life. I mean these story could be metaphor for how fragile life is and how the years spent in grade school can actually be fairly tragic, despite there being actual death. I couldn't give the full summary because I haven't fully understand these short story, so I'm sorry for that. Thank you.

Project: How to Manage Your Emotion and Stay Calm

Hello my name is Syifaulqulub. I'm a freakin' calm guy. Let me show you some tips and tricks to hide manage your feeling and to be calm-looked stay calm. 

I'll show you tips and tricks when you have to face these situations:

Situation 1: Getting bullied.

When you getting bullied, just let your emotions flow away. If you can't do it, try to convince your self to be strong and show them if you're better than other. If they still don't give a respect for you, you don't have to give a shit anymore for them, just leave them and unfriend them or you can't report them as spams. 

Situation 2: Friendzoned.

Well, this is hurts. If you have a crush with your best friend and he/she thinks you're only their friend, try to show your feeling to your crush (elegantly), maybe by asking "Should I smile because we are friends? Or cry because we are never be anything anymore?". If you failed, you have to pretend like you're dead as soon as possible. Nope, you have to move on...

Situation 3: Cheated.

I don't know the ways to solve this situations. Just stay calm and make yourself busy with yourself. Don't cheat. If you're unhappy, just leave. 

Situation 4: Forever alone.

Try to make a fake girlfriend or boyfriend. Maybe by making a fake twitter account and get some conversation with it. Truth hurts and lies worse. So I won't lie, I feel sorry for you bro. Life is hard. But, you'll always get your family with you.

Those are some situations and trips that I can share with you right now. I'm tired, I'll share other situations and trips later. Thank you for your visit, sorry for the freaky things. No offense.

Wasalam.

National Exam

National Exam or Ujian Nasional (UN) in Bahasa is a standard evaluation system of primary and secondary education in Indonesia. National exam is used as a parameter of students capability to continue their education. The students will get the result of the exam as a mark for continuing their education to the higher level. The mark is called NEM.

National Exam doesn't work well. The concept of national exam is great but it's not implemented well on the field. There are so many lacks of National Exam such as cheaters, answer keys, lacked question sheets, and many more. National exam is also contaminated by corruption. The government looks silly in this case.

The conclusion is there is another way to test the capability of student, for example is a kind of test like SERU3. It's more challenging and fairer. If the government wants to continue National Exam, they have to fix as many problems of National Exam.

School's Environment

For your instance, I study at 3 Senior High School Bandung. The building is not really good, but I think it needs an expansion. The environment in 3 SHS is pretty well, there are many kind of plants and trees in there that make the air cooler (only on ground floor). There are also some gardens and ponds in 3 SHS. The sanitation is pretty good, I'd like to thank to the janitors especially Mr. Ishak who always bang the table and knock the fence keep my classroom tidy and clean everyday. The toilets are clean, but it have some problem with the lightning and watering.  

Let's talk about the canteen as known as bazaar in 3 SHS. Some people are sure if bazaar is a healthy canteen, but I'm not sure. The food seller usually used the water for boiling or cooking oil over and over without replace it. This is a disgrace but I love Bazaar's Nasi Timbel and Avocado Juice, both are delicious.

Well, that's my opinion about my school's environment, sorry for the frigidity. 

Wasalam.
