[QUOTE="Adam Gilchrist, post: 41831, member: 5820"] [I]Wouldn't I be able to apply for permanent residence another way? Do all people who are sponsored by a company in the US HAVE to work for them forever [/I] Well yes, most people on H1B visas (or the equivalent ) have them extended, and if they are on such a visa long enough may be able to apply for more permanent visas. The USA visa system is mind-bogglingly complicated, and it really isn't worth troubling yourself over. Suffice to say, don't waste your time over it. It isn't relevant to you for now. [I]Is the American GPA system the equivalent of the UK class system (1st class in the UK is equivalent to a 4.0 GPA..)? [/I] Essentially yes. A first is about 3.9 in old money [I]Even if I was to (magically) get into Harvard, isn't it astronomically difficult to get a work visa, or would it be easier for me given I would be a 'Harvard grad' (theoretically speaking)?[/I] Still difficult, but less difficult. Harvard JD is a good thing to have on your resume. Not the only thing that matters, but a good thing anyway. [/QUOTE]
