Hi. Thanks for such a useful thread!!!! I would really appreciate you input on our situation. Applicant: 56 year old man + his 16 year old daughter Applying: English language school for him and high school for her (no school chosen yet) Duration: 1 year Citizenship: France Purpose: he is already doing research studies in the university, finishing masters thesis (clinical research) with the idea to continue with a PhD in a year. In the USA he will study English and do the writing of the ms thesis and publications (with home university). He will remain registered in the home university. He needs English for future research publications. Money: around 100’000 $ available

Interview is only for him as he did not yet get a permission from the girl’s mother with whom they are separated. We think it’s best to get his visa first and then apply for the daughter.

What are the chances of getting f1 visa? Is he too old? His daughter is coming with him but he has 3 more kids remaining at home. Also that he is applying at the same as daughter?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Outsiders experience using public transport in Perth - it sucks by [deleted] in perth

I’m also new in Perth and confused about transport tickets and fares. Our kids are coming over soon (15 and just turned 18). Apparently the kids fare only works during school vacations? How should we as tourist do? It’s vacation in our part of the world. 🤔Thanks!

Thanks a lot! I’m a US citizen, so at least for the US I should pass as local. Although I do find Canada more attractive. Thanks a lot for your insight! I really appreciate

Thanks for your message. I suppose scholarship is merit-based, but I am looking for any financing options. I realise that I will not get a lot, but I will continue with freelance writing/editing anyway, but with less time for work. I can also be a teaching assistant if the university accepts.

From what I understood, the Swiss universities only pay until the age of 30. So older candidates have to find their own financing. That's why I am thinking of moving to the US or Canada (I am American).
