Hello everybody, I want to know something.
How difficult/easy is for an international student to get a Loan, if he’s already in USA?
i just wanna know whether it’s easy for him or not?
Not.
You would need an American citizen or permanent resident to QUALIFY each year and cosign for those loans. Since most won’t do that, or can’t do that, it’s not likely going to happen.
Okay thanks.
Let’s assume if you’re sponsor who’s supposed to support you passed away…
What really will happen to you !!!
???
What?
Are you asking if the person who has been co-signing your loans passes away? then there could be trouble. The banks may want the loans to be paid off sooner. And they won’t issue any new loans w/o a cosigner.
cool.
but what about my study ! Should I stop studying??
if you do not have a qualified US citizen who will cosign your loans, you will not be able to continue your studies unless you have the money
so, they will send me back home?
If you can’t pay for school, your registration will be cancelled. If you are on a student visa, the school will notify immigration that you are no longer enrolled. You will have to deal with immigration yourself.
OP, did the cousin in Virginia you were living with pass away? Were they your sponsor?
laughing… no, it’s was just an assumption !! I just wanna GET OUT OF HERE !!! There’s NO future here.
You have no idea of the situation I’m living through now.
In my country studies don’t mean anything apart from getting a paper (diploma).
No jobs, no nothing after that.
I’ve got a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer-Science and I know my stuff very very well because I spend days and nights in front of my PC almost everyday but my country and my continent don’t promote our advancement… so it’s really really hard for us.
2 years ago, I have been admitted to Johnson and Wales University www.JWU.edu, and obtained $5,000 of Presidential Scholarship, they sent me a letter to bring it to the US embassy of my country to get the F-1 visa, but I have never gone and never attended class in US as that amount was even not half tuition they requested for first year.
That’s why I’m still looking for a way to realize my dream, that is to study Computer Science in a developed Country !
PS : (It’s a very very long story, but I just cutt it)
You know that it is going to be highly unlikely that you will be able to get a job in the US , even after you attend Johnson and Wales (which is really not going to help your cause, just cost you a whole lot of $$)
you’re stating that after attending US Univ, there’s no really jobs for international students? why?
^ To be employed in the US as a non-citizen, you need to have either permanent residency, an employer-sponsored work visa, or some sort of refugee/DACA/etc. work permit.
cool thanks.
There are many, many Americans who want jobs. Surely you understand the reasoning that preference is given to citizens in the hiring process? The expectation is that international students will return home after they complete their studies.
“I’ve got a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer-Science”
Then what you want to do, is find graduate program, not a second bachelor’s degree. If you could be admitted to a Ph.D. program in Computer Science, then it is very likely that your studies would be paid for through some combination of research and teaching assistantships. Once you finish a degree in the US, you would be able to stay here for a year or so with an extension of your student visa, in order to get practical work experience (OPT). Some people do find permanent work here after their OPT ends. However not every one does.
If you are truly unhappy in your home country, investigate the immigration policies in Australia and Canada. Both of those places have much more rational policies than the US has.
^ It is easier for an int. student to get a work visa with a US graduate degree vs. an undergrad one.
thanks guys.
I also like canada.
But the big problem is there are much more scholarships for international students in the US than in any other countries, that’s the reason I’m still hooking on US schools.
Canada also have some programs suitable for intl. students, like I read on a web-site and I saw these programs too.
But anyway, This year, I’ll focus on many countries, not only one in order to have large scale of chance to leave Africa.
