Entrevista de estudiante becado a residente permanente

Entrevista a Miguel Pà ©rez, bloguero de Vidgo, que ilustra uno de los muchos caminos para emigrar a Estados Unidos. Llegà ³ como estudiante  y  es residente permanente tras haber tenido varias visas de trabajo. La experiencia de Miguel es comà ºn a muchas otras personas: llega a Estados Unidos  con una visa y segà ºn va pasando el tiempo va cambiando a otras hasta que, finalmente, consigue una tarjeta de residencia. Es fundamental resaltar que nunca se quedà ³ sin estatus migratorio legal. Y es que es innegable que respetar siempre las leyes americanas, incluidas las migratorias, facilita enormemente los distintos trà ¡mites migratorios. Cmo llegaste a Estados Unidos, con qu visa y en qu ao fue? Respuesta: Lleguà © a Estados Unidos en 1994 con un visado de estudiante, para cursar una carrera de Marketing y jugar en el equipo de tenis de la universidad. Culfue el proceso para ganar la beca para deportista?Cmo sabas adnde aplicar?Solicitaste entrada en ms de una universidad? En qu universidad acabaste estudiando? Por suerte, conocà ­a a uno de los jugadores que ya estaban en el equipo, otro canario. Fue  Ãƒ ©l quien me animà ³ a comenzar el proceso. Como yo entrà © en enero, las becas ya se habà ­an concedido, por lo que tuve que pagarme mi primer semestre. Despuà ©s de mi primer semestre, el entrenador me ofrecià ³ una beca completa para el equipo de la Universidad de Luisiana en Monroe (ULM). Adems de ser un excelente deportista, qu ms requisitos necesitaste para ser admitido? TOEFL? SAT? Cmo los preparaste? En aquellos tiempos, solo me pidieron el SAT y no necesità © el TOEFL.  Y, sin estudiar, me presentà © al examen (algo que no recomiendo a casi nadie).Por lo tanto, el SAT fue el à ºnico requisito. Mi nivel de inglà ©s al llegar era tan pobre que cuando lleguà © a la universidad y me dieron un examen de evaluacià ³n, me metieron en clases intensivas de inglà ©s (ESL) durante 3 semestres. Hoy en dà ­a le recomendarà ­a a los interesados contratar los servicios de una agencia especializada en este tipo de trà ¡mites—como AGM Sports,  con los que yo trabajo. (Ademà ¡s, prà ¡cticamente todas las universidades piden hoy un mà ­nimo nivel de puntuacià ³n en el TOEFL). Cunto se demor todo el proceso desde que decidiste aplicar hasta que fuiste admitido, qu gestiones tuviste que hacer y cunto fue el costo de todo ello? En mi caso, el proceso no demorà ³ mà ¡s de 8 meses. Desde que tuve el primer contacto con la universidad a principios del 93, hasta mi admisià ³n oficial a finales de noviembre.En enero de 1994 desembarquà © en tierras americanas. El costo total de gestiones ascendià ³ al precio que tuve que pagar por el billete para ir a Madrid a examinarme. Ni siquiera comprà © libros, por lo que el coste fue bastante reducido. Y el primer semestre me lo paguà © yo todo. En porcentaje, de todos los gastos que supone estudiar en Estados Unidos, cunto te cubri la beca y cmo pagaste por el resto, si es que necesitaste? Por suerte, mi beca cubrà ­a el 100 por cien de los gastos (matrà ­cula, libros, estancia y comidas).Para costearme algunos gastos extras, solà ­a dar algunas clases de tenis en mis tiempos libres. Durante tus estudios cuntas horas le dedicabas al deporte? Cmo esestar becado como deportista? Yo estudià © marketing y juguà © en el equipo. Mi primer aà ±o fue bastante duro porque mi inglà ©s era el tà ­pico de cualquier estudiante espaà ±ol de colegio—very bad. Lo que hacà ­a era traducir todos los apuntes de clase, que habà ­a pedido a algà ºn compaà ±ero americano, para estudiar en espaà ±ol. Es decir, que trabajaba el doble que los demà ¡s. En cuanto a las horas de entrenamiento, solà ­amos correr o hacer pesas a las 5:45 am hasta las 7. De ahà ­, nos duchà ¡bamos e à ­bamos a clase de 8 hasta la 1 pm. Por la tarde entrenà ¡bamos de 2:30 a 5:30. Algunos tenà ­amos clases por la noche tambià ©n, de 6 a 9. Yo me propuse tomar 21 horas (3 crà ©ditos por curso) en cada semestre, lo que hoy puede parecer una  Ã‚  locura. Las universidades consideran que un estudiante estudia full time con 12 horas. Pero a mà ­ 12 me parecà ­an muy pocas, ademà ¡s tenà ­a que recuperar todo el tiempo que habà ­a empleado en mis clases de inglà ©s (ESL). Estar becado como deportista es una experiencia increà ­ble. La verdad es que nos trataban  muy bien, desde las instalaciones especiales para comer para deportistas (training tables) como todas las instalaciones deportivas a nuestro alcance. Bà ¡sicamente, te pagan para que formes parte de la universidad. Salir con una carrera terminada, sin un dà ³lar de deuda, es algo que no resulta muy frecuente. Al finalizar tus estudios, disfrutaste una OPT? Cmo fue el proceso? Al finalizar mi carrera, decidà ­ cursar un mà ¡ster en administracià ³n de empresas (MBA), ya que querà ­a pulir un poco mà ¡s mis conocimientos empresariales. Despuà ©s de terminar mi MBA, solicità © el OPT. Lo usà © para trabajar en JP Morgan Chase, como miembro del equipo de servicio al cliente en espaà ±ol en la divisià ³n hipotecaria del banco. Se comenzaban a ofrecer servicios en espaà ±ol y yo fui parte del primer equipo de espaà ±ol de Chase, junto o otros 4 compaà ±eros. Nos encargà ¡bamos de servir todo el territorio nacional, desde la sede de Monroe (la sede principal de la divisià ³n hipotecaria de Chase en aquellos momentos). Y despus de la OPT, qu? Despuà ©s de once meses, y de ganar el Employee of the Month como 5 veces en Chase, mi supervisor me aseguraba que el proceso de aplicacià ³n de mi visado se harà ­a sin problemas. Pero, a dos semanas de que mi visa OPT se venciera, me llamaron al departamento de recursos humanos para informarme de que no procesarà ­an mi visa. En ese entonces, y casi con la certeza de que me tenà ­a que regresar a casa, me llegà ³ una oferta inesperada desde la universidad, para impartir clases de Ofimà ¡tica y administrar la red informà ¡tica de la facultad (durante mi MBA, habà ­a sido Graduate Assistant del network administrator, y à ©ste se disponà ­a a abandonar supuesto). Con la universidad, comencà © con visa J-1, tres aà ±os seguidos. Despuà ©s de ese perà ­odo, se ofrecieron a tramitarme la H1-B, la cual renovà © al cabo de tres aà ±os. Entre tanto, la solicitud de mi green card comenzà ³ allà ¡ por el 2004. Despuà ©s de casi 5 aà ±os, en febrero de 2009, mi green card fue concedida.   Cmo conseguiste las visas de trabajo y la tarjeta de residencia? La universidad me patrocinà ³ las visas J-1 primero y la H-1 despuà ©s y, finalmente, la green card (tarjeta de residencia permanente) Planeas hacerte ciudadano americano por naturalizacin? Si no me equivoco, podrà ­a comenzar el proceso de nacionalizacià ³n. Como  Estados Unidos y Espaà ±a me permiten tener doble nacionalidad, quizà ¡ opte por solicitarla. Vives con tu familia? Sà ­, con mi esposa que es venezolana. Estaba en Estados Unidos con una H-1B trabajando para la farmacà ©utica Bayer pero pedà ­ para ella una greencard y ahora tambià ©n es residente permanente. Tenemos dos hijas que son ciudadanas americanas por haber nacido aquà ­. Cules seran tus recomendaciones a deportistas que se plantean la posibilidad de estudiar una carrera universitaria en Estados Unidos? Mi primera recomendacià ³n serà ­a informarse muy bien sobre el proceso (exà ¡menes de ingreso, becas, papeleo, todos los documentos necesarios...) Aparte, les recomendarà ­a conocer muy bien cà ³mo funcionan las cosas aquà ­, en caso de que en el futuro, decidan quedarse un tiempo a trabajar. Temas como la importancia del credit history en este paà ­s, los internships como puerta de acceso al mercado laboral, relacionarse con antiguos alumnos de la universidad durante los eventos, incrementar su visibilidad con el profesorado, y muchas otras cosas.   Este artà ­culo es informativo. No es asesorà ­a legal.

It has been said that agreement or compromise defies the abortion issue. If you look at the poll data and it is correct, there has been a surprisingly stable majority of opinion with the American people within the past 30 years that rejects the free of compromise positions with both sides of abortion, people who speak or write in support of the argument. There are big majorities that think abortion should be available and legal during the early months of pregnancy. They think it should be legal when the reasons are weighted on rape, incest, probability of serious birth defect, or serious danger to the mothers health (McConnell, 2002). Within 15% believe that abortion should be made available after the first three months after the fetus has developed fingers and toes, brain waves, a full set of internal organs and beating heart. Majorities are against abortions if people want them for avoiding career interruptions. Majorities also are for regulations that have parental consent requirements to protect against ill-informed decisions and hasty since permitted by the Supreme Court such regulations has stood in the years since Roe (McConnell, 2002). When the Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973 it was said to be flawed.

The Career Of Clinical Medicine - 868 Words

As a candidate who previously had worked in the Department of Internal Medicine for several years as clinician, resident, and research scholar, I am committed to embrace the rigorous challenges and to excel in every tier to become an excellent physician. A career in clinical medicine has always been my inspiration; however, I chose to avail myself from basic science and translational researches before completing residency training in the hope of gaining experience that would make me all rounded, and, ultimately, a better physician.

Fossils Categorized As Archaic Homo Sapiens Essay Example For Students

Fossils Categorized As Archaic Homo Sapiens Essay STUDY GUIDE 91.Describe general characteristics of fossils categorized as Archaic homo sapiens, their temporal and geographic range. Exclude Neandertals. Discuss some of the problems associated with the understanding of this fossil taxon. (a) Increased cranial capacity(b) Appear more similar to modern humans(c) Reduced face, less prognathic, greater frontal lobe(d) Thick cranial bones, no chinArchaic fossils have been found in Europe, Africa and Asia. Problems arise because there is very little fossil record and they are too young to date with pot/argon and too old to date with radiocarbon. 2.Over time neandertals have been considered both extremely primitive and nearly modern. Discuss morphological characteristics that distinguish them from both Homo Erectus and anatomically modern sapiens. What does post-cranial morphology indicate about their life histories and life ways in general?MORPHOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES:1. Larger brains than modern humans2. Shape of the skulls differed, football shaped3. Flat front4. Bulge in the back of the skull5. No chin6. Large face and prognathicPOST CRANIAL MORPHOLOGY:1 very robust2. Heavily muscled3. Barrel shaped rib cage4. Very strong handsThey appear to be built to endure very cold co nditions, they lived during descent into a full glacial period. They needed to be able to conserve heat in a very strenuous environment. 3.Fossil evidence indicates that neadertals were extinct by 25,000 years ago. Identify features of their skeletal morphology, mortality profiles and apparent life ways that might explain their disappearance from the fossil record. Neadertals were very robust, short limbs, barreled rib cage and strong hands that required high levels of calories to survive. They lived very short lives and they exhibited bone fractures and cranial injuries. Bone fractures consistent with rodeo cowboys, suggests that they were taking large prey. They juvenile mortality rate was high also, which points towards the idea that life was very difficult, too difficult for most to survive. 4.Richard Klein and Lewis Binford have taken opposite stands regarding neadertal hunting capabilities. Outline their arguments. Select and defend one position. KLEIN: Claims neanderatls were proficient hunters by the accumulation bison bone in one place, points toward the idea that neandertals were targeting them. The species found were too abundant to be found in one place, unless they were being killed. Also some stone tool marks on meatiest part of bone suggests that they werent left by scavengers but killed by neandertals. BINFORD: claims that neandertals were only scavengers, most of the bones found were only skull and feet bones. Thus pointing towards the idea that they were killing small prey and scavenging large already made kills. 5.What does the fossil record suggest regarding religious practices and altruistic behavior among neandertal populations? Is the fossil record consistent with respect to these issues?It suggests that neandertals cared for disabled, evidence shows disabilities that required care by other members of the group. Burial recovery of skeletons with bone fractures that suggest they were being cared for, they survived where they would not have without help. Also evidence that they buried their dead, bodies have been found in association of goods. Suggests religious practice and altruistic behavior, contemporary to modern human populations. The Fossil record is consistent to the point where we can assume they were taking care of them, if monkeys and apes can do it so could Neandertals. Political Science
