International Students Planning their immigration to study in USA, UK and other 1st world countries have to meet certain academic and financial criteria. Apart from being eligible to get admission in certain educational program on the basis of their qualification, grade and merits, an international student must display his financial strength to pay his Tuition and living expenses for at least first one year of his study program.

Many eligible and desirous students are unable to demonstrate their financial support to pay to the College / University approximately US$3600.00 which is normally the cost of tuition for their first semester. They do not have good Bank statements and there is no immediate relative to provide them affidavit of financial support. Hence their immigration desire on student Visa remains a dream.

I will narrate an immigration plan of a poor student from Egypt who met me in Los Angeles, California, USA during January 2005.

One of my friends introduced this young tall boy of about 23 years age, saying that Mr. Sam has arrived in USA in December 2004 on a student Visa to study English

As a Second Language course of one year duration. He needs some guidance to achieve his immigration objectives in USA. I asked Mr. Sam to briefly explain his study plan and his immigration objectives to me.

He started speaking English in a very poor accent. He told me that he had very little money in Egypt and he is only a High School graduate. This means that he had gone to school for only 12 years. But he was very serious to learn English speaking in pure American accent fluently. He wanted to know the business culture, society

And relationship building with American business communities. Then he wants to go back to his country and operate a Home based Call center for Telemarketing in USA. And he wants to achieve his immigration objectives during his legal authorized stay period of one year in USA.

He told me with a broad smile that his total expenses of Course admission and F-1 student Visa cost was just US$950.00 only. He arranged this money from his uncle who also provided an affidavit of support for US$9000.00 only. Before he applied to immigration officer for student Visa, he traveled to a neighboring country to enhance the value of his passport. He said that Blank passports do not impress the interviewing immigration officer at the US embassy.

During his conversation I noticed that he had planed his immigration activities with lot of care and research. He analysis the situation intelligently. He is accurate in defining his immigration targets. He knows what he can do. He planed limited immigration goals. His first semester tuition fee was just US$450.00, which was within his resources.

His arrival cost in USA on student immigration Visa was just US$950.00 only. He intends to go back home within legal stay period of his immigration student Visa.

If we analysis his immigration Aim, we can learn that simple and practical thought process can make your plan workable. You do not have to be ambitious while developing your immigration plan.

I made a guideline plan for him to learn and adjust in business culture of corporate America So that he can develop a good call center with lot of success in Telemarketing for his USA clients. I remember this young man left USA in December 2005. He was speaking English in fluent American accent and had developed deep business relationship with many ready clients who trusted him and were willing to outsource their Telemarketing project in Egypt to his call center.

A poor student had achieved his immigration objectives with hard work and intelligent planning. Those international students who have meager financial resources can follow such Immigration Plans to achieve success in life. Telemarketing projects require understanding of your client business psychology and speaking English in fluent American accent. You can learn both these requirements during your student immigration stay on an ESL course in USA.

You may also develop good personal relationship with your potential Telemarketing customers during your stay in USA. Your large friendship circle with American students will also help you in future Life.

Build your huge assets with good human interpersonal friendly relationship; you will never be poor in Life. Plan your immigration within your resources, you will be always successful. Do what you can easily perform. There is no shortcut to research and hard work. Good Luck to all International Students.

Is it true that the California Veterans college tuition waiver program also will pay for you to get your masters and doctorate degrees if you continue at a California public school? My cousin in the navy said this. Is it true?

Free Money to go Back to School / College

The U.S. Department of Education’s statistical branch published the report, which is titled “Undergraduate Financial Aid Estimates for 12 States: 2003-4.

The report is “the latest in a series of analyses based on the 2003-4 National Postsecondary Student Aid Study,” the article said. Recent information in the study features “student aid available for public two- and four-year colleges and universities, as well as four-year private nonprofit institutions.” Twelve states are highlighted in the report, including their undergraduate tuition price. Of those 12 states, California, Illinois, New York and Texas all have “especially large enrollments,” the article said.

New York Undergraduates Receive High Amount of Aid

For 2003-04, the report said, the amount of in-state undergraduates in New York receiving financial aid roughly was three-fourths, “a share that was the second-highest among the states in the report,” Woo wrote. In comparison, the percentage of undergraduates in California who took out student loans or received grants only was 39, “the lowest proportion among the 12 states,” the article said. In 2003-04, financial aid was received by approximately 60 percent of all U.S. undergraduates.

Georgia Students Receive the Least Amount of Aid

According to the report and noted in Woo’s article, financial aid was received by a higher proportion of New York’s undergraduates along with greater amounts of money received. The average financial aid amount received by an undergraduate in New York was $8,300, according to the report and stated in Woo’s article. An undergraduate in California, in contrast, received an average of $6,100. In Texas undergraduates received an average of $6,000. Georgia undergraduates received the lowest amount among the 12 states in the report, with an average of $4,800. The average amount of financial aid received nationwide by undergraduates was $6,600.

He is still in high school. If my company transferred me to California, and I established residency at least one year before my child enters college, would he be eligible to pay in-state tuition and fees? He will finish high school in another state (where his father lives). Thank you.

Quin810x asked:

Are the state colleges in California free to attend for residents? Also, how long must one live in California to be considered a resident for this purpose?
Any one have a link to a form that I can fill out for a community college to have the tuition waved. I plan to move to California and want to know how long I would have to live there before I am eligible for the tuition waiver.
Found the residency requirements here:

Joseph Kenny asked:

With the cost of college is skyrocketing seemingly on a daily basis, who’s to say how much tuition will cost once your child leaves the nest? That’s why it’s important to save in any way you can. Is it as important as saving for your own retirement? No. With Social Security an instable option at best and with pension plans going the way of the dinosaur, you’re pretty much on your own when it comes to retirement. Your child, however, will have several options when it comes to paying for college. Financial aid, student loans and scholarships are just the beginning. Regardless, it’s many peoples’ goal to help their child through college. With savings plans like the 529 now available, you too can reach that goal.

Simply put, the 529 plan is a state-sponsored vehicle to help you save pre-tax dollars to go towards your child’s college education. There are two 529 options: the savings plan and the prepaid tuition plan.

Through the prepaid plan, you’re able to pay for your child’s school at today’s tuition rates, even though they won’t actually be attending until years down the road. The amount in your 529 account is guaranteed to pay for tuition to your state’s public colleges and universities when your child is ready to attend. It’s quite the deal, though it usually doesn’t cover room and board costs.

One of the main drawbacks is that you or your child will have to be a resident of the state where your child attends college, which puts a damper on things if your California kid suddenly decides they want to attend Harvard. It depends on the contract, though. Some 529 plans do allow students to attend private or out-of-state universities, but you might have to forfeit some of the value of your account.

A safer and more flexible option than the prepaid plan is the 529 college savings plan. Through it, your child will be free to attend any university, public or private, in-state or out, and it includes room and board. The downside? The money you put into the college savings plan is only good towards whatever the cost of college is at the time your child is ready to enroll. No one know what that’ll be, but it won’t be cheap.

Most states put a cap on lifetime contributions to 529 college savings plans that range between $100,000 and $275,000, though most don’t have a limit on how much you can invest annually. Problem is, contributions of over $12,000 per year ($24,000 if you’re married) are subject to a gift tax. There’s a loophole here, however. You can invest up to $60,000 in one year to a 529 and it will be treated as five yearly payments of $12,000. But beware; going this route will leave you unable to make another deposit for the next five years.

So where does your money go when you put it into a 529 savings plan? Much like a 401(k), the goals is to invest aggressively early on, then choose the safer path the closer you get to needing the money. If you choose an age-based portfolio, your money will be invested in stocks early in your child’s life, and then moved to the bond market as he or she gets closer to college.

The 529 plan offers enormous tax savings if you use the money for its stated causeputting your child through college. Though your contributions to the fund are not considered tax-deductible, it will grow free of taxes and any withdrawal is also not subject to federal taxes. Depending on where you live, you might also get state tax deductions or exemptions from contributions or withdrawals.

The one big-time fallback to the 529 is the fact that it may limit your chances of receiving financial aid. That’s because withdrawals from the account are considered part of your child’s income, and will be assessed for financial aid purposes. It may or may not be an issue, depending on how much you have saved in the 529 account.
