Due to Boston Bombings few weeks back, there are new changes at U.S. port of entry. News is reported in NAFSA and reproduced here.
Based on news accounts, and preliminary contact with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), it appears that DHS is instituting an interim policy of referring arriving F, M, and J non-immigrants to secondary inspection, to ensure that individuals whose SEVIS records have been terminated are not readmitted without a thorough review of the students’ situation.

You may read the summary of comprehensive immigration reform bill which contains major changes to High skilled legal immigration, H1B Visa, L1 Visa, Work Authorization, Start-up Visa, etc.
I want to provide a complete overview about the proposed bill S.744 in U.S. Senate. So, sent email to nation’s Top Immigration Attorney’s with two questions. One of the question is -
Which provision of the Senate’s Bill S.744 will have the most impact on legal immigration (High Skilled)?
I’m publishing the answers received so far. I will be updating this blog post, as I hear from other attorney’s about their view on Immigration Reform, Green Card and High Skilled immigration provisions in the proposed bill. Continue Reading…
Following F1 Visa interview experience is shared by Kashif.
I reach the consulate 8.45 for my 9am interview. After the security checks I was let in and made to sit in a queue.
I advise other students to reach the consulate early for this. After some time we where led into the building and given a token number.
We followed the queue to get our fingerprints verified and I sat in the first row in the waiting area for my interview.
I saw many interviews in my 90 mins wait time. A male officer on a particular counter was issuing visas to almost everybody and a lady was rejecting almost every applicant.
I got nervous seeing this. I was constantly praying that I got that generous officer.
I saw the ones who failed where those who hadn’t prepared properly and where didn’t have a proper plan.
Luckily I got the generous officer.
Me: Good Morning.
VO: No reply..Types into the computer.VO: Good Morning Sir.
VO: Yes, I heard. Which degree?
Me:Mechanical EngineeringVO: Any other admits apart from UTA (University of Texas at Arlington)
Me:YESVO:Which?
Me: SUNY, MSU, OSU & UTAVO: hmmm. types into the computer.
VO: So you had gone to Saudi? Y?
Me: Hajj. It is…
VO (Interrupts): I know what that is..what is a generous smile. About to give the VISA, I could sense it.. But…
VO; So ready to go to Texas? Done with your high school this year?
Me: No. I completed two years back.. Here the grilling started (I wanted to be honest no matter what)VO: What have you been doing since then?
Me: Told. Explained honestly looking into his eyes,VO: Ok. So what is your father s income?
Me: 2.5 Lakhs p.aVO: Mother s income.
Me: 6.25 Lakhs
As soon as he heard 6 lakhs he interrupted me:VO: Your Visa has been approved and you will get it in 3-5 business days.
I reached home in 15 mins after the interview since I live near.
Within 4 hours I got an Email that my passport is ready for pickup. I’ll be collecting it tomorrow morning since it was already Friday evening.
Thanks a lot HSB since I prepared for my VISA extensively after reading F1 Visa interviews from your site!
In this video, I have a simple message for students in USA and prospective students trying to get to USA.
Message is Simple
Read the following articles
Following is taken from Indiana University
In college courses, we are continually engaged with other people’s ideas: we read them in texts, hear them in lecture, discuss them in class, and incorporate them into our own writing. As a result, it is very important that we give credit where it is due. Plagiarism is using others’ ideas and words without clearly acknowledging the source of that information.
To avoid plagiarism, you must give credit whenever you use
1. Put in quotations everything that comes directly from the text especially when taking notes.
2. Paraphrase, but be sure you are not just rearranging or replacing a few words.
Instead, read over what you want to paraphrase carefully; cover up the text with your hand, or close the text so you can’t see any of it (and so aren’t tempted to use the text as a “guide”). Write out the idea in your own words without peeking.
3. Check your paraphrase against the original text to be sure you have not accidentally used the same phrases or words, and that the information is accurate.
I hope you have an idea about plagiarism and ways to avoid it.
You will be instructed about plagiarism during your International Student Orientation. Pay close attentions to the section.
