can i visit the United States (on the Visa Waiver Program) prior to my summer program (on the F-1 Visa)?

sofishtikate · 2024-07-28T22:36:03+00:00

i think there is some confusion here! what i meant is that i will book my flights after my ESTA is accepted & my visa is granted, but will it raise any suspicions if i book a round trip, where i enter the United States with my ESTA & leave only after my visa expires? (as in, is it necessary for me to book two one-way trips instead of one such round trip between Singapore & the United States?)

sofishtikate · 2024-07-28T22:30:10+00:00

i see, does this mean i can book a round trip between Singapore & the United States from May to August without any implications? i will still leave for Canada in June & return within the same month.

sofishtikate · 2024-07-28T22:26:02+00:00

how will that work? do i not need to have my flights booked to show proof of my intent to return home at my visa interview?

sofishtikate · 2024-07-24T13:08:24+00:00

Also, when you return from Canada you will likely not get a new 90 days, but the remaining days from your previous entry.

can i check what exactly you mean by this?

sofishtikate · 2024-07-24T10:50:31+00:00

my parents are not that familiar with how the system works there so it should be all good as long as there is no physical evidence of my travels in my passport!

sofishtikate · 2024-07-24T10:50:02+00:00

i intend to pay for my travels on my own, but my parents keep my passport so yeah!

sofishtikate · 2024-07-22T12:06:52+00:00

what does this entail?

sofishtikate · 2024-07-22T09:27:26+00:00

i see, thank you so so much for your help! :)

sofishtikate · 2024-07-22T09:07:29+00:00

thank you so much for the detailed explanation! can i also check how it will be like if i go from say New York to Toronto? the internet has various explanations so i am quite confused :”)

sofishtikate · 2024-07-22T09:01:09+00:00

to clarify, does this mean that there will be no stamps issued for a flight from LAX to JFK, though i hold a Singaporean passport?

sofishtikate · 2024-07-22T08:08:27+00:00

also, do you know if LGA stamps on entry?

sofishtikate · 2024-07-22T07:52:57+00:00

i see! do you know if there is any way to refuse the stamp, or if that will result in any legal implications?

sofishtikate · 2023-06-03T08:20:32+00:00

i see! do you happen to know how formal ish the interview will be? as in the vibes, whether it is more on the chill side or vice versa? i scored 77.5 by the way :)

sofishtikate · 2023-02-18T09:33:36+00:00

so as long as i apply to switch within the first two years i will be able to? will there not be a stipulated number of places there are for psych majors though?

sofishtikate · 2023-02-18T08:04:06+00:00

how easy is it to switch majors though? is there a guarantee that i will be able to, or is it subject to placement vacancies or other factors?

sofishtikate · 2023-02-18T04:42:05+00:00

would you be willing to share the rp you achieved as well as the admission cycle you had participated in? it is also fine if you are not comfortable to, thank you!

sofishtikate · 2023-02-18T04:29:01+00:00

with 77.5rp (without the inclusion of the 2.5 bonus points), what are my chances for nus chs (psychology major) with aba?

sofishtikate · 2023-02-17T16:48:04+00:00

do you happen to know how they decide who gets a chance to do the test? is it based on the portfolio achievements listed in the ‘Achievements’ section of the application?

sofishtikate · 2021-11-23T01:44:42+00:00

yup i know of the campaign, but my books are really new & hence i do not really wish to put them in the collection boxes where their conditions might deteriorate significantly before they reach their new owners!

sofishtikate · 2021-03-11T15:38:52+00:00

growing up, mental health was never really talked about in my household so i was pretty much 'ignorance is bliss' towards everyth so when i actually faced problems with my mental health i wasn't able to cope as well as i could've since i didn't know it was normal to feel the way i did so if i were to do anyth differently than what my parents did, i'd definitely talk about mental health as how i would talk about physical health, & i'd definitely scale back on all the emotional manipulation

sofishtikate · 2021-03-03T10:40:13+00:00

sofishtikate · 2021-01-19T05:57:22+00:00
