DHS BEGINS COLLECTING 10 FINGERPRINTS FROM INTERNATIONAL VISITORS AT ORLANDO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WASHINGTON, D.C. ? The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced today that it has begun collecting additional fingerprints from international visitors arriving at Orlando International Airport (Orlando). The change is part of the department's upgrade from two- to 10-fingerprint collection to enhance security and facilitate legitimate travel by more accurately and efficiently establishing and verifying visitors' identities. "Biometrics have revolutionized our ability to prevent dangerous people from entering the United States since 2004. Our upgrade to 10-fingerprint collection builds on our success, enabling us to focus more attention on stopping potential security risks," US-VISIT Director Robert Mocny said. For more than four years, U.S. Department of State (DOS) consular officers and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers have been collecting biometrics?digital fingerprints and a photograph?from all non-U.S. citizens between the ages of 14 and 79, with some exceptions, when they apply for visas or arrive at U.S. ports of entry. "Quite simply, this change gives our officers a more accurate idea of who is in front of them. For legitimate visitors, the process becomes more efficient and their identities are better protected from theft. For those who may pose a risk, we will have greater insight into who they are," added Paul Morris, Executive Director of Admissibility and Passenger Programs, Office of Field Operations, CBP. DHS's US-VISIT program currently checks a visitor's fingerprints against records of immigration violators and FBI records of criminals and known or suspected terrorists. Checking biometrics against the watch list helps officers make visa determinations and admissibility decisions. Collecting 10 fingerprints also improves fingerprint-matching accuracy and the department's ability to compare a visitor's fingerprints against latent fingerprints collected by the Department of Defense (DOD) and the FBI from known and unknown terrorists all over the world. Additionally, visitors' fingerprints are checked against the FBI's Criminal Master File. On an average day at Orlando, more than 1,700 international visitors complete US-VISIT biometric procedures. Visitors from the United Kingdom, Mexico, Germany and the Netherlands comprise the largest numbers of international visitors arriving at Orlando. Orlando is the next port of entry to begin collecting 10 fingerprints from international visitors. Washington Dulles International Airport began 10-fingerprint collection on November 29, 2007. Thus far, Hartsfield?Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Boston Logan International Airport, Chicago O'Hare International Airport, George Bush Houston Intercontinental Airport, San Francisco International Airport and Miami International Airport have also begun 10-fingerprint collection. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport will soon begin collecting additional fingerprints. The remaining air, sea and land border ports of entry will transition to collecting 10 fingerprints by the end of 2008. Since US-VISIT began in 2004, DHS has used biometric identifiers to prevent the use of fraudulent documents, protect visitors from identity theft and stop thousands of criminals and immigration violators from entering the country. US-VISIT, in cooperation with CBP, is leading the transition to a 10-fingerprint collection standard. This upgrade is the result of an interagency partnership among DHS, FBI, DOD and DOS.

The change is part of the department's upgrade from two- to 10-fingerprint collection to enhance security and facilitate legitimate travel by more accurately and efficiently establishing and verifying visitors' identities.

Bilo bi dobro da zavr?ite ono ?to ste započeli, ali de?ava se često da institucije mogu da progledaju kroz prste kada su rokovi u pitanju. Najbolje bi bilo da sa na?im savetnicima na grupnom savetovanju svakog drugog četvrtka raspravite koje bi bile mogućnosti pred vama. Vama nije problem da aplicirate i bez zavr?enog mastera, ali bi krajnja odluka o prijemu morala da se donese kad već imate diplomu u rukama. Kada je taj rok - to će morati savetnici da sa vama rasprave. Naravno, američke institucije omogućavaju da odmah posle osnovnih studija krenete na phd, ali za?to bi ste bacali godine investirane u master ovde, kad već imate ?ansu da to i zavr?ite. Nemojte da odlučujete u ?urbi, imate vremena. Prosečna starost postdiplomaca u SAD je oko 40 godina, tako da definitivno imate prostora za manevrisanje.

Od 12. februara počinje novi pripremni seminar za GRE. Cena je i dalje osam hiljada dinara mesečno za tri sata nedeljnih instrukcija i jo? tri sata ve?banja. Javite se na 011/334 5227 za vi?e detalja.

Centar neće raditi sa korisnicima u petak, 15. februara, zbog proslave Dana dr?avnosti Republike Srbije. Center will be closed on Friday, February 15, for the celebration of Serbian State Day.

Postavljeno je uputstvo za pregled slobodnih termina za GMAT. Pročitajte ga na sledećoj lokaciji - http://www.iacbg.org/board/index.php?showtopic=1083

Pre svega se javite na 011/3345227 i zaka?ite dolazak na neko od sledećih savetovanja za osnovne studije. Video snimci su po?eljni, ali videćete sa savetnicima kako bi to trebalo da se uradi. Bitno je slati utakmice, a ne treninge, ali o tom potom - razgovaraćete sa kolegama. Prosek je bitan, ali nije jedino merilo uspeha. Bitni su i rezultati na testovima. Postdiplomske studije imaju drugačije kriterijume, ali je opet bitno da imate solidan prosek na predmetima koji će vam biti va?ni na daljim studijama i da imate dobre rezultate na ispitima koji će biti pred vama. Ako ste zainteresovani, krenite u akciju odmah, barem da vidite kakve su vam ?anse.

Pre svega savetujemo da se dođe na savetovanje za osnovne studije koje se organizuje sredom u 15 časova. Tu mo?e da se dobije najvi?e informacija o bavljenju sportom tokom studija. Sada samo nekoliko brzih odgovora. S obzirom da se niste pripremali za SAT i TOEFL, vreme vam je kratko za pripremu i za uspe?an start studija u avgustu ove godine. Naravno, postoje univerziteti koji imaju početni semestar u januaru, ali postoje druge stvari koje morate da ispunite. Stipendija mo?e da se dobije, ali postoje razni uslovi. Za pojedine sportove su u pitanju i aktivnost u klubovima i godine starosti, a potrebno je da se va?a igra dopadne i treneru koji bi trebalo da vas ubaci u tim i ponudi bilo kakvu stipendiju. Na na?im savetovanjima se nudi vi?e informacija i savetnici mogu da vam odmah odgovore kakav bi bio redosled koraka u va?oj situaciji. ?ta god da se dogodi, nemojte da odustajete, jer bi bilo korisno i da zavr?ite fakultet i da odete na postdiplomske studije u SAD. U tom slučaju, na?alost, neće biti moguće dobiti sportsku stipendiju kao na osnovnim studijama.

Provera dostupnosti termina za polaganje GMAT obavlja se isključivo na sajtu www.mba.com. Niko od administratora ispita, savetnika ili volontera u Centru ne mo?e vam reći kada ima slobodnih termina za polaganje. Ono ?to bi trebalo da znate je da u Centru postoje po dva mesta svakog dana kada je ispit organizovan. Način provere opisan u daljem tekstu poma?e vam da vidite da li ima mesta za polaganje određenog datuma, ali nećete biti u mogućnosti da vidite da li su slobodna dva ili samo jedno mesto. Pre svega je potrebno da u Internet čitač unesete adresu www.mba.com. Ovo je centralna adresa koja je va?eća za prijavu - ukoliko ste već otvorili nalog na tom sajtu i imate spremnu kreditnu karticu, mo?ete se odmah prijaviti i u tom slučaju je procedura drugačija. Takva situacija biće obja?njena na drugom mestu. Za sada je bitno da na stranici koja se otvara kliknete na "TAKE THE GMAT". Stranica koja se otvara obja?njava sve ?to bi trebalo da znate o registraciji i plaćanju, pripremi i polaganju ispita. U delu "Register for the GMAT" nalazi se link pod nazivom "Check Seat Availability". Kada kliknete na link, otvara vam se nova stranica sa mestom gde bi trebalo da kliknete da proverite dostupnost mesta u određenom regionu. Kliknite ponovo na "Check Seat Availability". Otvoriće se stranica "Find a Test Center". U polje "country" unesite naziv zemlje koja vas interesuje, tj. one u kojoj ?elite da pola?ete ispit. Kada unesete dr?avu, unesite grad u za to predviđeno polje i kliknite na "Search". U donjem delu stranice otvoriće vam se rezultati pretrage i imate mogućnost da označite lokacije za koje ste zainteresovani. Ako ste odabrali lokaciju ili lokacije, rezultat izbora prikazaće se u delu "Selected Test Center". Ispod toga nalazi se dugme na kojem pi?e "Next" - kliknite na njega i otvoriće se stranica sa datumima za tu lokaciju. Datumi koji su dostupni su posebno označeni i mo?ete da kliknete na bilo koji od njih da vidite koja su vremena početka testa dostupna na toj lokaciji. Ovaj metod slu?i za proveru dostupnosti centra u određenom periodu. Za registraciju morate da pratite linkove u delu sajta koji smo opisali, a koji se nalazi u delu sajta "Take the GMAT".

Hm, da, dobra ideja. Mi smo Petra podsetili da opi?e svoj akademski profil, a on nam se samo zahvalio :-) Valjda će u budućnosti biti malo manje zbunjen - sada je jo? sve?, tek je oti?ao preko bare.

Ako univerzitet na koji aplicirate hoce da prihvati kopiju, nece vam biti problem da iskopirate taj list papira sa vasim rezultatima sa ispita i posaljete ga na trazenu adresu. Medjutim, ako zelite dodatnu kopiju osim one na koju imate pravo placanjem ispita, moracete da popunite odredjeni formular na sajtu www.collegeboard.com i da platite dodatnu sumu. Vise detalja nalazi se na adresi http://www.collegeboard.com/student/testin...es/sending.html . Procitajte pazljivo uputstva i posaljite sto pre zahtev kako bi na vreme bio obradjen.

OSVE?ENI FAJLOVI O TOEFL? iBT i GRE? Na na?em sajtu postavljene su sve?e informacije u fajlove o TOEFL? iBT i GRE?. U pdf fajl o TOEFL? dodati su datumi polaganja tokom februara, marta i aprila, a u GRE? informacijama je promenjena cena i dodato je jo? nekoliko sitnih detalja. Pročitajte ih na sajtu - http://www.iacbg.org/.res/File/TOEFL2901.pdf i http://www.iacbg.org/.res/File/GRE2901.pdf .

Pretpostavljamo da ste sada na raspustu, a ne na nekom neočekivanom napu?tanju studija. Dokle god vam va?i I-20 i dokle god ste na tom programu za koji je I-20 napravljen, mo?ete da uđete u SAD sa va?ećom vizom. Ako je program istekao, obrazovna institucija će morati da vam po?alje novi i moraćete da vadite novu vizu. Sledeći put kada procenite da ćete se vratiti u SAD u periodu kad vam je viza istekla, moraćete od univerziteta da tra?ite određene papire, ali to je već navedeno na na?em forumu.

Ili niko nije jos polagao, ili se stide... a mozda su potpuno zapostavili Internet otkad su polagali GMAT :-)

DHS BEGINS COLLECTING 10 FINGERPRINTS FROM INTERNATIONAL VISITORS AT HARTSFIELD-JACKSON ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT WASHINGTON, D.C.?The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced today that it has begun collecting additional fingerprints from international visitors arriving at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (Hartsfield). The change is part of the department's upgrade from two- to 10-fingerprint collection to enhance security and facilitate legitimate travel by more accurately and efficiently establishing and verifying visitors' identities. "Biometrics have revolutionized our ability to prevent dangerous people from entering the United States since 2004. Our upgrade to 10-fingerprint collection builds on our success, enabling us to focus more attention on stopping potential security risks," US-VISIT Director Robert Mocny said. <script> For more than four years, U.S. Department of State (DOS) consular officers and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers have been collecting biometrics?digital fingerprints and a photograph?from all non-U.S. citizens between the ages of 14 and 79, with some exceptions, when they apply for visas or arrive at U.S. ports of entry. "Quite simply, this change gives our officers a more accurate idea of who is in front of them. For legitimate visitors, the process becomes more efficient and their identities are better protected from theft. For those who may pose a risk, we will have greater insight into who they are," added Mr. Paul Morris, Executive Director of Admissibility Requirements and Migration Control, Office of Field Operations, U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The department's US-VISIT program currently checks a visitor's fingerprints against DHS records of immigration violators and Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) records of criminals and known or suspected terrorists. Checking biometrics against the watch list helps officers make visa determinations and admissibility decisions. Collecting 10 fingerprints also improves fingerprint matching accuracy and the department's ability to compare a visitor's fingerprints against latent fingerprints collected by Department of Defense (DOD) and the FBI from known and unknown terrorists all over the world. Additionally, visitors' fingerprints are checked against the FBI's Criminal Master File. On an average day at Hartsfield, 4,000 international visitors complete US-VISIT biometric procedures. Visitors from the United Kingdom, Germany and Mexico comprise the largest numbers of international visitors arriving at Hartsfield. Hartsfield is the second port of entry to begin the collection of 10 fingerprints from international visitors. Washington Dulles International Airport began <script> 10-fingerprint collection on November 29, 2007, and eight other ports of entry will begin collecting additional fingerprints during the next few months. The next ports scheduled are: Boston Logan International Airport; Chicago O'Hare International Airport; San Francisco International Airport; George Bush Houston Intercontinental Airport; Miami International Airport; Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport; Orlando International Airport; and New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport. The remaining air, sea and land ports will transition to collecting 10 fingerprints by the end of 2008. Since US-VISIT began in 2004, DHS has used biometric identifiers to prevent the use of fraudulent documents, protect visitors from identity theft, and stop thousands of criminals and immigration violators from entering the country. US-VISIT, in cooperation with CBP, is leading the transition to a 10-fingerprint collection standard. This upgrade is the result of an interagency partnership among DHS, FBI, DOD and DOS.
