There is no law that prohibits you from applying to universities, however it may be better if you just apply as a permanent resident once you reach the US since you will be eligible for financial aid consideration. If you apply as an international student, that would mean that you would need to apply for an F-1 visa and that is not your case. Contact the international students counselor at the university of your choice and ask her/him what would be the best route for you. They will be in a better position to point you in the right direction. Good luck!

the first step is to actually apply. i know someone from pakistan who is studying at george mason university in the u.s...he applied took the appropriate tests and came over here..you should expect to have to pay for your plane ticket. there are families over here that would sponsor you and love to have you stay with them, look into "host families" in the u .s. also once you are accepted there are differents grants or scholarships you might be able to pursue, or maybe its possible you could get a grad assistanship. i would first start by contacting colleges and see what they are willing to do. it never hurts to ask.

You go to the website for the US Embassy Kuala Lumpur and click on the Visas to the United States link.  All the information and application links that you need can be found at this site.\n\nhttp://malaysia.usembassy.gov/consularwebsite/visa/visaindex.htm

no, thats not possible, no one can go to the US with a tourist visa and study. first of all, what is usually done for foreigners to study in colleges, like as you said, harvard, you would first apply from you country, wait for the response and if you are accepted, you are automatically given a student visa where you can study and work part time. \n\nfrom my view, it sounds pretty unreal in what your friend tells ya, thats no possible, i mean we are in America, if it was that easy, then everyone else would be doing it. \n\nanother possiblily to get a job in the states is to apply for an international job offer, but like 99% they look for people with high degrees and from there you are able to go and work there with a visa a do as you please, study as you like,ecc.\n\nthe last way of living in america Legally, is simply applying for a green card and from then on you are able to study and/or work as one pleases. its a long process.\n\nso just ask your friend next time, 'how on earth is your aunt going to do all this to get in to the us first, the toursit visa doesnt allow you to study or work permanently?

If you want to study full-time in the US, you will need your own     I-20, SEVIS number and F-1 visa.  If you have not yet entered the US, you may apply for an F-1 visa; if granted, they will cancel your F-2 visa.  If you are already in the US, you may apply for a change of status from an F-2 to an F-1.

You might want to inquire at the U.S. embassy. There is a real need for Arabic speakers in the military and in the government. Your fluency in these three languages would be an invaluable asset to the government. Since you have a skill (i.e., Arabic language) you would have an easier job of getting a visa than other immigrants who don't have that "in-demand" skill. I think you should forget about the student visa and apply for a work visa. Talk to the Embassy people about that and highlight your Arabic fluency as a special "in demand" skill.

As long as the university confirmed you as its students, they will assist you with your visa, don't worry. For updates, check the Embassy office

If you have a status in Malaysia that is deemed as "permanent" (i.e. your work/study there for an extended period of time) then yeah no problem.\n\nIf you are in Malaysia temporally (i.e. as a tourist) then you/your fiancee need to apply in your country of residence.\n\nCheck with the US consulate where you are applying but in general the above holds true.

Your question is a little confusing because you state you want to become an American citizen and then continue going to school. You can apply for a student visa to come to America and go to graduate school for your doctorate. \n\nIf you want to become an American Citizen you can look into getting into the diversity lottery for immigration, which is probably the quickest way. You could find someone who wanted to marry you and become either a spouse of fiance and come to America through a K1 (fiance) or K3 (Dependent) Visa. \n\nThe hardest thing is getting here and there is a great deal more information you can access at the uscis.gov website regarding immigration. In the end, it all depends on who interviews you for your visa to come here. I home you get someone who does their job and does not interject personal bias into the formula.

That depends on the country where you live now.  Your best action would be to contact the U.S. Consulate in your country. The website of the consulate should be listed here:\n\nhttp://usembassy.state.gov/

Yes, you can by a house in the U.S. even though you are in the country on a student visa. \n\nHowever, note that owning property does not provide you any other rights to visit, work or live the U.S. in the future. That process would be determined independently with no consideration of property ownership in the U.S. That's probably only a problem for a small number of people in this situation. \n\nOcassionally foreigners in the U.S. on student or other temporary visas, who bought U.S. real estate, are not able to return to their U.S. property.  They were later denied a visa or entry to the U.S. for unrelated problems (violations of their visa status, or similar).  The fact that they owned a house in the U.S. meant nothing in this process.

First, the government DOES let you legally work at the same university while on student (F1) visa. Second, I believe if you near completion of your degree and demonstrate financial hardship, you can even get a permit to work outside the boundaries of your university. Contact your university's office of international affairs - they will tell you in details.

Yes.\nYou need to apply in the US.
