  1. Hey everyone, I am due to arrive in LA next week. I received my F1 visa many months ago. When I received it, the I-20 was enclosed in an envelope stapled to my passport. However, I removed the I-20 from this (I needed it to prove my income). I was doing some prep reading this week and I read that you should not open this envelope (the customs officer will do so). I had not read this anywhere before so, and it was not indicated on the envelope. I still have the original I-20 and all the required information. Has anyone else dealt with this problem? Should I be worried?
  2. Approved! All they asked is how long I have been in Australia for and what am I doing here. Thanks for the help guys!
  3. Hi everyone, I have just received my I-20 and am in the process of getting all my details together before I apply for my F1 visa. I have been accepted into a reputable PhD program with full funding. At the end of last year (after completing my undergraduate studies) I moved from New Zealand (my home country) to Australia for employment. I am now working in Australia and will do so until the middle of August when I will return home before travelling to the USA. Note: As I have a New Zealand Passport, I do not need a work visa to travel and work in Australia. I am trying to decide whether or not I should travel home to undertake my F1 Visa interview. Do you think this will make a difference? - Especially given the interviewer will probably know that I only travelled home for the interview. I have extremely strong ties with New Zealand and only moved to Australia as I was given an opportunity to work on research in my area before starting my PhD - something I would have never been able to achieve at home. I completed all my schooling and undergraduate studies in New Zealand, all my immediate family resides there and owns significant properly, Any comments will be appreciated!
  4. I'm off to UCSD this fall as well. I am doing a PhD within the MAE department.
  5. I also have a PhD Admit from UMCP. I am in the control research group though. Seriously considering it.
  6. Hey everyone, I am investigating Universities to apply for, I want to complete a PhD in Control Systems starting in 2012. I am compiling a list on Universities who have large Control Systems facilites / are known for their Control Systems research, and just want to get some feedback. My interests lie heavily in the theoretical aspects of Control Systems, Current places I intend on applying to: 'Dream' MIT UCB CalTech (ACM , not EE) 'Other' UCSB USC University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign University of Michigan Gatech Any comments on the above Universities, or any others that I could consider will be appreciated
