What do I need to teach English in Taiwan?
Currently I'm a third year high school student in the U.S. I 'm wondering what I should study in college to become an English teacher in China. What is the difference between TEFL and TESOL?

Have a degree or do a masters in T.E.F.L

You will need to gain Associates Degree with TESOL/TEFL Certificate (the minimum allowed by the Ministry of Education) OR a B.A. degree in anything. Many schools prefer you have a B.A .degree. For general teaching in private buxibans, TOEFL certification, an education degree, teaching experience and not required if you hold a BA. Public schools often require an actual accredited teaching degree, though some private buxibans (private cram schools) out-source to public schools teachers who do not hold them. University teaching requires a Masters degree in a related field. Once in country, you'll need a copy of your actual diploma, legal working status (an ARC or Alien Resident Certificate) or a current visa with the option of extension, and come from one of six native-English speaking countries that are favored in Taiwan: Canada, The United States, The United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand or South Aftrica. You must also have no criminal record and be free of HIV. Overall, most schools are looking for someone who is light-hearted and gets along will with the students, and knows how to play some good games. See: games page. TOEFL certification, an education degree, teaching experience: none of these are required. Overall, most schools are looking for someone who is light-hearted and gets along will with the students, and knows how to play some good games. Therefore, you must finish school to come and teach. Some do teach illegally, but this requires you to visa-hop every month, potentially go to jail, and it's also illegal and no one would recommend it.

My girlfriend is a citizen of Taiwan, how can she immigrate to the US without marrying me?
My girlfriend is a citizen of Taiwan, how can she immigrate to the US without marrying me?
She already came to the US on a 5 month student visa, but she doesn't want to be a full time student anymore, because she already has her degree. We looked into a B2 visa but that only would allow her to stay 6 months, and she couldn't work. I have heard the easiest way for her to get citizenship is if she married me, but we are both in our 20s I don't want to get married yet.

she might be able to get a business visa, to do business in america
2 :
Depending on exactly what degree she has, an H1B (foreign worker) might be a good option. However, she might need to wait until next year's quota opens up in April.
3 :
Simple why don't you just go to Taiwan to be with her. That way you will find out if she is using you or if she really likes you.
4 :
It's a long shot, but she's eligible for the annual DV Lottery. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=963e6c854523d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=54519c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_1318.html

Marriage does NOT equal automatic citizenship. Marriage could lead to permanent legal residency, but citizenship you have to earn on your own.
6 :
There are only two ways for your girlfriend to immigrate to the US, via family-based petition or employment-based petition. If you have no intention of marrying her, then her only option is through employment. If she has at least a bachelor degree, then she may seek US company to petition H-1B visa for her. If she can't find a job, then her only choice is keep on going to school and keep her student status.

I bought MS Office home and student 2007 in South Africa. On the package it says that product activation must occur in SA. I live in Taiwan, so does that mean I can't use the package?

Youy DO need a visa to visit the U.S. You do not need to go back to Taipei to apply for it. You can apply through the American embassy nearest to you now. Go to the website of the United States embassy in the U.K. and read visa info, fill out the forms and print them. CALL the U.S. embassy as it instructs you do to for a brief interview. This is the ONLY way to get a U.S. tourist visa for someone from a country whose citizens require a visa to visit U.S. On the site, it will tell you what the usual wait times is to get the visa.
