Urgent question for getting an Uk student visa?
I am from South Africa, and I am in the US as an international student. My question is: Is it possible for me to transfer to UK from the USA? What I want to know is can I apply for the Uk visa being in the US without having to go to my country for that. thank you for answering.

You can apply, But its sure to be rejected. They don't know who you are, and no references from your Government supporting the fact that your not a criminal and just a student. The UK is very strict on these things since we`re scared of people. Haha. What I would do is go back to South Africa, and apply from there. It will maximize your chances of getting into the UK. Good luck friend :)

The site below is the official website for everything to do with travelling and working to the United Kingdom. It will tell you if you need a visa and if you do how to apply for one. http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk You have to answer a short questionnaire. 1. The purpose of your visit. 2.Country of nationality. 3.Current location. and all the relevant information will then be given.
3 :
South Africa is a Commonwealth country and its citizens do not need a visa to visit the United Kingdom as general visitor for up to six month. If you plan to stay longer or for other reasons you will need a visa. You must apply from your place of citizenship or residency. If you should hold a long term F-1 student visa and hold a residency in the US you may apply from the United States. If you just hold a I-94 for 180 days or less you should better do the application from your home country. Source(s): http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/howtoapply/infs/inf5students#Q4

Working holiday USA (South African citizen)?
Working holiday USA (South African citizen)?
I'm a law student from South Africa. I would love to go to the USA on a working holiday from mid-November 07' to mid-February 08'. Obviousy I would like to earn some dollars, and have a good time! There are many agencies through who you can organise it, but the fees are almost more than the airfare (which is allready a strech for me!) I've got some common sense, and I believe that I would be able to do most of the administrative stuff myself, but I would really appreciate any info on how to find a job over there without having to go through an agency.

There isn't a lot of time between now and November, given that you need a work visa and it has to be sponsored. Do check wil USA companies in SA and SA companies with offices in the USA to see if they have any opportunities. However, your best bet is probably DisneyWorld (in Florida). Go to http://disney.go.com/disneycareers/wdwcareers/international/index.html for more information. Good luck!

You need to submit transcripts, SAT scores, TOEFL scores, and letters of recommendation. You'll need to apply in December to start the following September. Harvard admits fewer than 6% of applicants - you really need to find a way to stand out. If they only accept one student from your country, is it going to be you?
2 :
It is extremely difficult to get into Harvard. It is a very selective private university and does not accept all applicants -- not even close. However, the best way to start, to demonstrate that you have initiative and interest, is to make your inquiries at Harvard itself. Since you are already 21, you may be talking about postgraduate study in a specific field rather than earning an undergraduate degree. I'm giving you the Harvard website, and if you are hoping to apply to earn an undergraduate degree, then you should click on "Admissions and Aid" at the top right. You should be given a way to contact the Admissions Office among other information. If your hope is to apply to earn a postgraduate degree in a specific field, then you will need to locate the school or department on the site and contact it directly. Click on "Schools".

USA student programs?
USA student programs?
Are there any 1mnth student exchanges/host family programs available in the USA during the Dec/Jan months ? I am a 17yr old student from South Africa and would love to travel to the US. However all the websites I have visited have a large fee plus the air-ticket on top of all that. Is there any programs where all they charge you for is your air-fare?

Pretoria isnt really than hectic when it comes to crime and such but i dont know of any good places you could stay. Try gumtree.co.za there will be some postings for flats avalible.
2 :
The area in Villeria and Wonderboom South is relatively quiet but unless you have transport you should stay on a bus route. Sunnyside is not to far but not very safe and Berea might be a bit expensive for a student - Google SA, Pretoria and i am sure you will find suitable accommodation I live in Pretoria SA
3 :
If you don't have transport - try to find accomodation in Hatfield. It's walking distance from UP and there are alot of apartments built for this specific reason. Otherwise - you can try to get into contact with someone that rents out a room in a commune. It's cheap and safer because you won't be living alone.

I am a mere teen so I cannot provide you with much information. And you may need to research a few backgrounds But I use to live in Auckland. It’s a great place it really is. But then again. The air pollution is something uh troubling… I generally prefer Auckland, maybe I’m biased. But It’s like the Sydney of Australia. Or the Los Angeles of America. The most ACTIVE city. Sure, Canberra, Washington DC, and Wellington are capitols. But it’s not the most ACTIVE and generally speaking… good(?) or the most involved in other … stuff. Do you get what I’m saying? It’s like the City that’s alive. And contains the most ‘privileges’
2 :
Auckland is a city with many people of different nationalities, but it is also the biggest city in NZ. It has the most opportunities work wise but the housing up there is so expensive its ridiculous. There are many other smaller cities and towns around NZ that also have a lot of work opportunities. I would check out www.seek.co.nz it is an employment website or www.trademe.co.nz where you can also find employment and rental properties. NZ is really a great place to live and is considerably safer than many other countries in the world. Good Luck!
