No. Your best bet is your employer giving you tuition reimbursement. You could ask the local banks around your area. But I doubt it.

Since your Question is under 'Business & Finance' I guess you need a Business Visa : Go to your local US Consulate, with a clear write-up of what you plan to sell, and why it will be profitable for US business houses to stock it.\n...Provide proof that you are financially solvent, and will duly leave the US on or before the expiry date of your Visa - and bingo ! You'll have helped yourself in getting a US Visa !

Bear in mind that the basis for an H1B is that you are highly skilled, not necessarily highly schooled. \n\nYou will need to find a reputable company that is interested enough in your qualifications that they will petition for you to come to the US to work for them.  You cannot apply for an H1B visa on your own.\n\nSee the following USCIS site for further information:\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/h1b.htm#apply

As a British citizen now in the US here is my two pence. Some options - (1) He can come as a tourist for six months at a time. He cannot legally work when he is here. Don't know your financial situation. (2) He can get a H1. He will need to have a degree and some experience and get a company in the US to sponsor him. If he has a IT / technical background and/or a Masters this is easier. (3) There are many Visa options based on his skill set eg- Highly educated and skilled or some very specialized skill. the USCI site has information on it. (4) Invest money in a US based business, employ people and get a visa to operate the business.\n\nSo the only real options is coming over is a temporary tourist or some kind of professional route.

None. A SBA loan is a loan from a bank guaranteed by the Government. \nUsually you have to be turned down by two banks before applying. \nYou may want the second turn down turn it into SBA since they already have the info.

The max u can stay on a B1/B2 visa is 3 mths. If u wanna do higher studies in mgmt. in US then u need to give ur GMAT and TOEFL. After getting the score, u need to apply to the universities. Once u get a call from the univ, they will give ya an authorization letter which u need to show to the US embassy in Bangladesh. After verifying ur cause they will give u a student visa. All this process will easily take more than 3 mths.

There is a specific section that is featured on fastweb today about international grants and scholarships.  \n\n\nYou should also check with a financial aid advisor where you attend school.  Some schools also have international student clubs and departments that specialize in resources for the international student.

You should find out what India's relationship is with the US, talk to an immigration lawyer. You dont have to worry about telling them the truth, they have to keep the meeting confidential. They will let you know if it is possible to get a greencard, and whether or not you would need to return to India and stay there until the government has made a decision. Good Luck!

First you need to write a business plan, no one is going to invest in someone without a business plan.\n\nThen decide on how you are going to finance the whole thing. Raise money from private backers, finad a silent partner, banks are not the only places you can raise finance from. Your current visa status could have an impact on your ability to get a loan from a bank, but private money wouldn't care less.

It depend on your legal status.  If you are here legally, you can apply for federal grants and loans.  If you are not, you will be limited to private Scholarships that set their own rules.  Some do not care about your status, others require you to be a U.S. Citizen.  Speak to the Fin Aid office at the local community college or State University.  They should be able to steer you in the right direction.\n\nGood Luck :)

You can apply to school and get an F-1 visa. this gives you OPT /EAD card which allows you to work legally in the  U.S. and have time to find an H-1B sponsor. You can get a J-1 only if your job is one of the prequalified jobs. You can only do a change of status if you have a J-1, F-1, L-1 or other qualified work visas. There are many people here on work visas (nonimmigrant) that have also applied for green cards. As long as you are in the country legally and eventually apply for your green card that's fine. If you are here illegally an marry a U.S.Citizen you still have a shot. If you apply for a work visa and they ask you your intent you say to work. Trust me no immigration officer is shocked to know you want to stay forever.\n\nP.S. No need to get nasty people. With the exception of American Indians we all come from, or are immigrants from another country.

I have been accepted to do my graduate studies this fall 2006 in US and so i collected details about the visa interview where one of my friend went through for H1B interview.\n\nHe went for Delhi consulate and there the questions by the visa interviewer where very simple and common. They asked certain details about the company profile, nature of work, some basic details of the project and also the period of onsite work estimated.\n\nYou just jot down the points in prior so that no confusions occurs.good luck!

One of the previous answers mentioned speaking Japanese.  While you would probably find it easier and would probably gain much more respect if you spoke the language, I believe most educated Japanese, if not practically all Japanese, speak English -- probably better than I do.  Being familiar with Japanese customs and business customs especially would also be very helpful.  One of the first things I would suggest is contacting the  Small Business Administration and an organization which works with them called SCORE.  This stands for Senior Citizens Organization of Retired Executives.  Check with them.  They've generally "been there and done that."  I believe there are also Federal programs which can assist you in exporting.  The SBA also has a program where they might guarantee your loan with the bank.  What they can do may also be affected by your status: veteran, minority, women, age, etc. -- there are all sorts of things going on. You've got a lot of work to do and, among the things you can get from SBA and SCORE are tons of books and "how to" manuals, most of them free.  One of the hardest questions will be "what do they want and what will they pay me for it?"  I wish you luck -- Live Long and Prosper.

Dear friend,\nI'm an undergraduate student in University Of California Davis. I'm an Indian and i did my high school from a school in Haryana. Let me tell you that we do NOT get any federal aid from the FAFSA which US govt. offers to its permanent residents only. Try looking for some online scholarships. I got a 14000 USD scholarship and that's how i'm here and 60000 USD would not be the full price. I advise you to research a lot before reaching a decision. My estimted cost was 64000 USD and its oming out to be 78000 USD now including the travel expense and the summer money. \n\nRegarding colleges with accreditation... I suggest you search at www.collegeboard.com. \n\nBest of luck.\n\nNick (Nikhil Thakur)

H1B extensions generally take 2-3 months.\n\nYou can leave the country without the approval, but your employer will need to send it to you in India and then you will need to apply for the visa stamp at the appropriate US Embassy.\n\nGood luck!
