just wondering , is there any way that an individual could obtain a green card to serve their military ? My brother is somewhat interested in serving for the United States Air force to gain qualifications and priceless experience and then leave after a full service to pursue his dreams in aviation .

Sorry for all these questions , our family isnt quite familiar about all of these things . thanks smile.gif

I'm not too sure. i think you need to get a job there, stay there for a period of time. then apply for the US green card.

but i'm not too sure if the US would allow immigrants to work in the military field. I feel that they'll accept only born and bred americans into the military field.

I didn't do my part of research for it so..yeah, it might not be true.

Non US citizens are allowed to apply as long as they have the documents that allows them to be in the states legally for a long2 time .

what about studying abroad first by Visa and maybe get a greencard after that ?

Eh hi guys! I just recently finished my SPM and whatnot, planning to take my SAT soon. I'm planning to apply as a freshman instead of a transfer student to a couple of American universities like UC Berkeley, UCLA and UC Irvine (definitely not Ivies, but still ridiculously competitive).

Just curious, are there any programs that I can do besides Taylor's 1+4 and A Levels to apply as a freshman? Taylor's fees seem to be quite exorbitant and I'm not very keen on taking A levels.

you can do adp anywhere (well I know of inti and taylor) and still do 1+4 provided you have a gpa of 3.5 above. 3.9 to secure a spot.

Thank you so much  notworthy.gif . So INTI does offer a 1+4 program that allows me to apply as a freshman? Sorry for all the questions. I tried asking at edufairs, but all of the spokespeople seemed very ... well, misinformed. And the INTI counselor hasn't been free for weeks  rclxub.gif

Of course, who wouldn't want to go to the ivies, UCLA, UCB, Boston U, Columbia, Brown etc?

They said if you did your first year really well, like maybe with a minimum of a 3.5 GPA, you can apply and then stand a chance to be admitted to the top U's . Well from what I thought was the first year is equivalent to their 12 year of high school so its basically the same thing where you enter as a freshman again and do all 4 years there and burn on the rm20k you spent here.

Haha, I was afraid of that. So in conclusion the universities will still take into account your GPA (and of course SAT score) but your credits will not be transferable?  doh.gif Hmm, how's INTI? Has anyone successfully gone to the higher-tiered aforementioned universities through their ADP program? I'm guessing it's virtually impossible to get into competitive unis through the 2+2 program?

Pay the school a visit and you'll see accomplishments of students getting into Ivies and many into UCLA/B around the corridor. Someone even managed to transfer 24 credit hours into an Ivy League!
