Foreigners in other countries

hi there everyone =)  I'm looking for help for my friend, a Nepalese international student in the US.

he is a full time student trying to find a loan for around $5000 but since he is not a US citizen or permanent resident, and he has no co-signer, it's really hard.  I have searched for a long time and I honestly have no idea what to tell him.  it's so frustrating, he's working really hard and deserves a break, (he was an RA in a dorm that had 3 residents die...talk about a tough year.)

I thought maybe other international students could suggest a place for him to look for a loan.  I can't find any federal programs or private loans that don't require residency or co-signer...and I don't want him to get stuck with a high-interest loan either. he is an accounting major and an honors student with a high GPA.  He is also a Hindu, if anyone knows of any Hindu organizations that do scholarships...dunno if BAPS, for example, has any programs like that, or if there are any other organizations active in the US which might be able to help.

thanks!

Hi! My name is Caitlin, and I'm an American college student studying Linguistic Anthropology. I'm doing research on how body language is perceived by different cultures, and I need participants who have traveled to the US from other countries to tell me about their experiences. If you could just fill out this short survey about specific hand gestures and what they mean to you, I would be eternally grateful. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I hope this post isn't inappropriate. I'm working on a paper for school [I'm getting my K-8 teaching credential]. The topic is immigration and how it affects education. I was hoping that someone would be ok with my asking a few questions via email. You'd need to be born outside the USA, and be old enough to have attended school here and remember your experiences.

Please comment if you'd be ok with this! Thanks so much!

Hi my name is Christiana and I am from the U.S (PA)
I am looking to contact a person who is living in the U.S. but lived a decent part of their life in Africa.
I need to conduct an interview for an anthropology class and any help in any direction would be phenomenal.

i can be contacted in comment or via email at jutecat@ gmail.com

I'm doing an interview performance next week for which I need to ask German students some questions about how they've found university life in the UK in comparison to their university. Alas, the students at my university are reclusive and loathe to answer group e-mails, and I was wondering if any past or present students here would like to give it a go.

Here are the questions: (please excuse my awful lack of umlauts; my keyboard simply refuses to use them.)

If you are a native German student, and could answer these questions in complete German (as though you were speaking to an interviewer), I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for your time.

Hi all. *waves*

Ok, let me begin....

Over the last week, my wonderful U.K. boyfriend was visiting me here in the U.S. I wanted him to have his first Thanksgiving, and meet my crazy family. Good times all around. Everyone loved him lots!

To my surprise, he proposed!! :O
I happily accepted, and now begins the long process of planning not one...but two weddings. AND! Figuring out what in the world we are supposed to be doing with visas and everything.

( Collapse )


Any and all information will be VERY helpful to me right now. :)

I am trying my best not to stress about any of this.
But it's like I told my love earlier...

"I do not want to fill out tons of forms, or stress about if I am doing this ok, I just want to say I DO and marry you, and keep you here in my arms!"


Also! If anyone has any information about us getting married in the U.K., that would be helpful as well.
We will not be living in the U.K. at all, just wanted to do a wedding there for his family that cannot fly over here.

Now then, I am going to relax somewhere and try to concentrate on some of the simple things for my wedding.

Has anyone here undergone the medical exam required in the Green Card Process? If so, what all is involved in this? Please give details. I have been given the 'go ahead' to get my medical exam done; however, I suffer from anxiety and don't feel comfortable with doctors, so I would like to prepare myself before my appointment.

Thank you in advance.

Hello everyone!
My name is Tess, I'm 18 from the UK. One of my dreams is to move to the US.
I just have this great desire to start a new life someplace new (Imperfect as lives are, I don't expect some adventure or anything).
I've been to Florida, but it was merely a family holiday when I was 3.

My mothers side of the family moved to New Zealand about 10 years ago, and my fathers side live in Turkey. Some in Australia.

I'm not in a rush to move. I'm going to finish my studies here for a year or two, tie up any loose ends that I have to, then I'll be ready.

I have more than enough money for these plans, but I'm a little anxious about how to go about this. Travel, accomodation? What do I do when I get there?! What about obtaining a visa?
I'd like to do a bit of travelling before I settle down. I want to see New Orleans and New York in particular.

Any advice or experience? Thankyou x

Soo... Where is everyone from and living now? Glad to be there, or not?
I'm from Germany, now living in the USA but well, let's just say this isn't my first 'expat' experience and it won't be my last.

Hi! I started this community so that Australians living abroad like myself can find each other, exchange resources and talk about any topics and issues relating to Australia, Australians and living and travelling abroad.

I created it so that we could easily find each other. I hope you decide to join!
