I want to marry a non-american Ph.D student... How?

I want to marry a non-american Ph.D student... How?
Ok so we've been talking and want to marry. Here is the situation: She is here in Honolulu for 5 years, working towards her Ph.D. She already has her I-20 form, and has a scholarship. How would i go about the marriage process, and if/when we get married, would that affect her education/scholarship since she'd be an american citizen? could she return to taiwan to visit? Help XD

First of all, congratulations! Second - most PhD students aren't here on "scholarship", persay. They are funded by their universities. That's based on academic factors, and not usually on citizenship issues; but for details on how her marriage might affect her funding, she'll need to speak directly to her PhD program adminstrators. I suspect it won't impact her funding at all, but again, she should ask. However, some foreign students are here, sponsored by their home governments. If this is her arrangement, then she'd need to speak directly with her gov't, and yes, getting married could mess that up. I am not a pro on visa issues when it comes to changing from one type of visa to another. The US State Department are the experts on this. You're going to need to address your questions to them. Start at their website. BTW, once she's an American citizen - officially, after you're married and etc. - she can return to Taiwan as she pleases, without a problem reentering the US. She'd be a citizen, same as you, and could enter the US just as you can. Once you're a citizen, you're a citizen. As an additional aside, you want to start documenting your relationship now, for the citizenship interviews after you're married. Take photos of the two of you together, for example.

do US colleges consider the quality of the high school the applicant attended?


do US colleges consider the quality of the high school the applicant attended?
I'm an international student from Taiwan, and I go to Taipei First Girls' High School, the best high school for girls in the country (top 2% students only). I got a 2260 on SAT I, but my 11th grade grades aren't spectacular - they're good, not great. Will US colleges take the reputation of my school into consideration?

Only top schools, like the ivy leagues will. Most places don't care.

Nope. It depends on if you take advantage of the opportunities that you are given.

It's not what you asked for (sorry). But, there is no such place known as 'University Road'. However, There is a long road in Taipei (Da-An District) called He-ping Don Lu (He-ping East Road), which has 3 universities on it and next to the Guting MRT station you can find numerous art stores on either side of the road, there must be at least 10 - 15 art stores all together.

Is there any good tv shows about lawyers?


Is there any good tv shows about lawyers?
I am a student in Taiwan, and my major is Law, but my teachers want me to translate the Law terms into English. So I think maybe it's a good way to practise my English by watching some related tv shows. If you know any one of them, please tell me,thanks!

There aren't any good lawyers so how could there be a good tv show about them?
2 :
I don't know. Here in the States we are hard pressed to find an honest and decent lawyer with morales.

Law & Order, seasons 1-15. In fact, this show was tagged as a "procedural". You'll see a case (usually a murder), from the discovery of the victim's body by a civilian or a 'beat cop', to the arrest and charging of the main suspect (?), to the district attorney's summation and the verdict. You'll see the detectives' investigative methods and the "wheeling and dealing" between the DA and the defense attorney and some of the techniques they use to press for more leads or evidence. You'll also hear lots of law terminology. Make sure to get the "original" series, not the spin-offs, like Law & Order: CI (Criminal Intent), or Law & Order: SVU (Special Victims Unit). They are even less "procedural". Sadly, in more recent seasons, the show strays from procedure (no more summation), and increases the drama elements such as interpersonal story/history. This is to compete with other police shows that started doing this, and gained viewers because of it.

"Law and Order", which is current and popular now. "LA Law" was popular some years ago, but it may be hard to find.
