USA - The dream place No.1

This post may help you get a student VISA / WORK VISA for the USA. Other than that the Indian audience is by and large puzzled about international education. There are different reasons to pursue higher education in different countries. In this context I wish to introduce the major reasons for you to apply in universities in USA.


Academic opportunities
Undoubtedly the U.S.of America provides world's best higher education, in nearly every field like health, science, technology, arts etc. U.S. diplomas / degrees and certificates are universally recognized.While most programs are structured very well, students also have the option to choose many other subjects as part of their course. Students have an opportunity to emphasize and narrow down topics of specific interest in their field of study. Sometimes students may even choose subjects from other universities as part of their studies.

Superior experience
The success of any student will be directly proportional to the amount of dedication and hard work he or she exercises. Undoubtedly, the U.S. offers a very high quality of education. The variety of skills and cross-culture environment can make the learning experience in U.S. universities a rich and unique one. With such diverse academic and cultural backgrounds, international students are better prepared for working with absolute ease anywhere in the world. Apart from education, international students get to interact with students from various countries and diverse cultures. This shapes them to a large extent and enables the international students to become world-class professionals, once they complete their education.


Financial opportunities

Universities support the international students either in the form of providing teaching or research assistantships. These assistantships are based on academic merit, rather than financial need. Awarded students will receive stipends, or either partial or complete tuition waivers. U.S. education could turn out to be completely free if the student exhibits exceptional skills in his or her field of study. Students also have the opportunity to receive grants, loans, and scholarships from various organizations.Once students complete their degree, they are authorized to work for one year in a related field, in order to gain practical knowledge. Students are allowed to work full-time (40 hours per week) by applying for an Optional Practical Training Employment Authorization (OPT). Many talented students are hired as a permanent employee after their OPT, by getting an H1B work visa sponsorship from their employers. H1B is a temporary work permit for foreign nationals to work in specialty occupations like Software, Engineering, Teaching, Accounting, or Marketing. Students may continue their work without leaving the U.S. after the F1- H1B status change approval.

Universities allow students to work on their campus as either part-time or full-time employees who are commonly known as a student workers. The students are paid minimum wage (6-10 dollars / hour) on an hourly rate, and their earnings help to cover their cost of living. Students are placed based on their financial need and personal skills. For example, an science major may be placed at the university library, while someone who is a History student may be placed at the campus dining center.

Research & analysis / Practical training / Internships

Research professionals are strongly encouraged to pursue higher education in USA. There are many opportunities for research. The funding for most of the research projects is done by the U.S. Government or by state / federal /private corporations. Also, many companies provide projects for the students in the neighboring universities to gain practical experience during their studies. Most of the research students receive waivers for their tuition fees and in some cases they are also provided with a stipend to help with their living expenses.Students are allowed to work in their respective fields outside the campus for approximately three months as Interns during summer vacation. There are Intern programs during the academic year as well. Internships are a valuable part of education, as they help students gain practical experience while taking classes. Most universities offer academic credit for internship experience.
