Leasing a car as an International Student? Visa F1?
I have a couple questions... I want to lease a car in the state of Florida, and would like to know which things are required in order to go to a dealer and get my car on leasing. I hace already researched and founded out my National Drivers License is valid in the US. What else would I need in order to lease the car and how long would the process take? Thanks :)
Can international student adopt a cat in US?
It would depend on what your local shelter requires but Ive volunteered at three shelters and my cat is from a rescue group and they didn't ask about my citizenship or my social security #. They would probably want to know what sort of housing you live in such as house/ apartment/ tow home, and if it is rent or owned. If it is leased housing then they would probably want to make sure your landlord knows about your pet and you've fulfilled the pet deposit and such. They also might ask about your job, and yours would be full time student. Good luck! Pets are big responsibility but if you are confident in your financial stability and plan long term with your new cat (cats can live up to over 20 years) then I don't see a problem!
Can a international student buy a firearm in the US?
Yes you can is the short answer. Having all the documentation you need to do it is the hard part. Also finding a dealer who is willing to sell you a gun is a different story. (R1) May nonimmigrant aliens legally in the United States purchase or possess firearms and ammunition while in the United States? Nonimmigrant aliens generally are prohibited from possessing or receiving (purchasing) firearms and ammunition in the United States. There are exceptions to this general prohibition. The exceptions are as follows: 1. nonimmigrant aliens who possess a valid (unexpired) hunting license or permit lawfully issued by a State in the United States; 2. nonimmigrant aliens entering the United States to participate in a competitive target shooting event or to display firearms at a sports or hunting trade show sponsored by a national, State, or local firearms trade organization devoted to the collection, competitive use or other sporting use of firearms; 3. certain diplomats, if the firearms are for official duties; 4. officials of foreign governments, if the firearms are for official duties, or distinguished foreign visitors so designated by the U.S. State Department; 5. foreign law enforcement officers of friendly foreign governments entering the United States on official law enforcement business; and 6. persons who have received a waiver from the prohibition from the U.S. Attorney General. Significantly, even if a nonimmigrant alien falls within one of these exceptions, the nonimmigrant alien CANNOT purchase a firearm from a Federal firearms licensee (FFL) unless he or she (1) has an alien number or admission number from the Department of Homeland Security (formerly the Immigration and Naturalization Service) AND (2) can provide the FFL with documentation showing that he or she has resided in a State within the United States for 90 consecutive days immediately prior to the firearms transaction.
