US Struggling with Funds

US IS struggling to maintain its economic boom , so it is trying to make money by pulling students across the world.
Real truth is US Dream is OVER.
They found that H1 is taking US Jobs , so they want to make money by telling eduction and other stuffs

The inherent contradiction in this article is that most Indian students (not all), are interested in the US university experience mostly as "door" for a "green card" or residency and a lucrative job. Not denying that the higher education mecca and all that, but that is not the core reason why people go there for studies.

The US consulates have a difficult mandate - to try and stop "illegitimate students" - those who want to "immigrate" fall under this category unfortunately.

Therefore if one is always "honest", it will be very hard to get a visa, if not impossible. The key is to project the right kind of "image" that makes you look honest and credible. This is not the same thing as being honest and saying the truth always.

There is a big gap between lying (no one should lie outright) and "not saying the truth", or putting the right "spin" on things. There are multi million dollar business in the US based on this simple dictum alone.

Telling the truth wont do much harm as we know and they know and the whole world knows that finally students want to settle down in a better country after finishing education. US wont want to sent a successful student back unless there is recession time. In this interview I think what he means by telling the truth is not so much about your future intension (which is but an open secret) but more about your past credentials. Do not lie about them.

Hi,
I got my F1 done @ 33. Doing my PhD now in US. Age does not matter for a VISA. Recently a 90 old scholar got his PhD degree in my school.
Cheers

Shobha,
With all due respect, you might want to strengthen your grasp of English.

"I have been working from past 10 years" is incorrect.

Start with the basics, then work towards your higher education goals. Age is never a barrier.

USA, diverse?
by Atul Narain on May 23, 2010 09:19 PM  | Hide replies

Thats a joke- 'enormous diversity' in the US!
Go from Califronia to NewJersey and you see very very little difference (compared to India that is). Go from Maharashtra to AP and you are in a diffrent country, diff language, diff script, diff culture, etc.
In fact the amazing thing about US is that lack of diversity proportionate to its size (3 times India).

If you are a first time visitor or been around for say 3 or 4 years, you don't see any difference. But you stay for 10 or 15 years, you will start seeing huge difference in people, their language and outlook.

For a new visitor to India, I can bet, all of India looks the same.

India is more like Europe in terms of diversity. The US is remarkably homogenous in terms of culture, granted that there are regional differences between the old confederacy and the North East and the Midwest for example.

A student on F1 Visa cannot work offcampus legally. He can work as an Intern by getting the appropriate paperwork.

Yes, you have to get CPT (Curriculum Practical Training). Even then, you can only work in jobs relating to your field of study. If you see Indian international students working in fast food restaurants like Taco Bell, McDonalds, Subway, etc, chances are they are working illegally.

No, not that easy now with US Immigration coming down heavily not only on illegal immigrants but on employers to who hire illegals. I can say all this with confidence because I have lived in the US for many, many years.

There are ways around these things, even now with all the enforcement. The entire restaurant, construction and manual labor industry in a lot of the states is built on the backs of illegal immigrants. You must be talking about paper pushing kind of jobs only.
