Q: How to get Dubai drivers license with student visa?
I will be going to Dubai for school for a semester or more (5-6 months) and I am planning on possibly buying a car. I have a United States drivers license but I want to get a Dubai license. It says one of the required materials is a resident visa but for now I think i will have a student visa or student resident visa. I will be living at the University in Dubai and I want to know if I can get a dubai drivers license and how to do it

A: Sorry, not on a student visa (student residence visa does not exist). For an UAE drivers license and to have a car registered in your name a residence visa is required. If you re over 25 yers old and have a driver's permit since 3 years (requirements to rent a car), get an international driver's permit and rent a car.

Q: Will a non-EU student visa holder allowed to marry a tourist visa holder in the UK?

Q: How long does it take to get a tourist visa converted to a student visa?
I am a British Currently present in US on a tourist visa (under Visa Waiver prog.) and now i am thinking of getting admission in a US college which promises me to get my tourist visa converted to a Student visa. I wanna know how long it would take for this process to get completed and my getting the student visa. Please reply asap... I'm in great hurry... Please... Thanks!!!!

A: As Charlie stated above me that since you have entered the United States under the visa waiver program (vwp) you are not able to extend your period of stay nor are you able to change your visa status to a student (F-1) visa. Now either the college as mis-informed you are you have misunderstood them. A college and/or university cannot 'promise' to get you an F-1 visa as they have no say in the matter nor do they have any legal right to do so. An F-1 visa is ONLY granted by the consulate at the American Embassy as they have sole juristriction in all visa cases. Now the only option you have is to return back home to the United Kingdom at the end of your stay in the States and then apply to the college. Once you have been accepted the college will send you what is known as an I-20 and with that you can then apply for an F-1 visa and to do this you need to visit the website for the American Embassy in London (which I have provided below). On the website it details all of the application forms, fees, requirements and procedures to obtain the visa.

Q: How can I increase my nephew's odds of getting a student visa to study at a US university?
The US consulate in his country rejects more than 90% of student visa applicants by claiming that these applicants fail to prove they will return to their home country upon finishing their studies. (To me, this practice is similar to requiring that people prove that they will not divorce in the future before allowing them to marry.) The official instructions for the visa application ask only that the applicants show that they have strong ties to their countries. He has all the required documents for the visa. I am sponsoring him and paying for all his expenses during his schooling. Given this constraint, how can we (he and I) increase his chances of obtaining a visa? One more detail: my nephew is only 18, so he cannot be expected to have a lot of money. I just want to help him earn a College Degree in the US.

A: Prove that your nephew has a credible bank account, real properties and direct relatives in his country in order to establish that a return will be guaranteed after the studies.

Q: what are the chances of getting a Canadian visit visa by a UK student visa holder ?
My friend is planning a visit to Canada in Christmas (for 10 days) and he is an indian passport holder presently in UK as an international student. he still has 2 years left on his student visa, and one more year for his studies to complete. His uncle (who is a permanent residence in Canada) would be sponsoring him for all his living and staying costs. My question is, what are the chances of him getting the visit visa as he is an international student in UK, if he shows all the necessary documents to the immigration officer ? Its like do they give Canadian visit visa to international students studying in UK ? Any similar real life experience is appreciated. THANKS!!!

A: No problem with it. If he has a relatives in Canada, who will take his finansial obligation, if he has a permission to stay in UK, then - no problem for sure.It will take 2-3 days.

Q: Boyfriend has a student visa, can he visit me during the summer?
My boyfriend is half mexican, half german (not sure if this matters) and we'd like to see each other once during the summer while we're apart. I visited him once in germany so he hoped to fly to the US and visit me for a few days here. Would this even be possible? Since he is not currently attending classes would this be in violation to his student visa even if it was for only a weekend? Thanks!

A: Actually his nationality matters a lot. German citizens do not need a visa to visit the USA as a tourist (for up to 90 days under the Visa Waiver Program), but Mexican citizens need either a visa or a valid "Border Crossing Card" to enter the USA at all. http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html http://www.skyteam.com/EN/travelPlanner/timatic/index.jsp http://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov/visiting.html Good luck!

Q: Spainish and european visa for a pakistani citizen whom already has a visa for UK as a student?
Hey, One of my university friend is studying here in the UK with a UK student visa. We are planning to go on a weekend trip to Spain and maybe a longer trip to Malta or turkey. I'm not sure exactly what she need to do to get a visa to these place. Can someone help please? Shes been in England from 1st October last year. Thank You.

A: To realize the travel plans two visa are required; one Schengen visa valid for Spain and Malta and a visa valid for Turkey. It is not that much dependent on how long she has stayed in the United Kingdom on her student visa but on how long her student visa will still be valid after return from her journey to the beforehand named countries to the United Kingdom. Spain will not accept a visa application if she does not have an authorized stay of at least six month in the United Kingdom after the Schengen visa has expired. Turkey will take a visa application if the authorized time of stay in the United Kingdom is less than 6 months; in this case however the decision about a visa is not made at the London Embassy which will take 3 days but will be referred to the relevant Turkish authorities for approval which generally takes minimum 6 to 8 weeks to finalize. A visa issued by Spain will also authorize to visit Malta and 23 other countries but not Turkey.
