Sorry for the late response on this one. It has been pretty hectic around here, with all those who needed assistance with their applications. At this point, we don't have many transfer students to assist you with this one. You're on the right path and nobody else can help you that much since transfer procedure can be pretty unique experience. We will try to see if we can contact someone to share experience with you. Once you get results of your transfer procedure, contact us if you have any questions or you just want to express your happiness

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.

Knjige za TOEFL mo?ete naći u većini bolje opremljenih beogradskih knji?ara. Počnite od onih koje imaju logo ETS-a i naziv "Official Guide", pa onda pogledajte ?ta je jo? dostupno na tr?i?tu.

Na sajtu www.gre.org je na samoj naslovnoj stranici postavljen link "Additional Score Reports". Ovde prenosimo ?ta pi?e kad zainteresovani kliknu na taj link: Nadam se da je bilo od pomoći . Naravno, podrazumeva se da je plaćanje kreditnom karticom.

Mnoge aplikacije bi trebalo ovih dana da se predaju, tako da u startu kasno krećete. Naravno, ni?ta jo? nije propalo - mogućnost za dobijanje stipendije postoji, ali potrebno je pokazati rezultate sa ispita, pisati eseje, podneti preporuke profesora i odabrati pravu instituciju. Predla?emo da sačekate prvo grupno savetovanje za osnovne studije u SAD i sa savetnicima razgovarate o mogućim koracima. Prvo savetovanje biće organizovano sredinom januara, a prijavu mo?ete obaviti pozivom na broj telefona 011/334 5227.

Međunarodni akademski centar neće raditi sa korisnicima i članovima u ponedeljak, 24. i utorak 25. decembra zbog proslave Bo?ića.

Koliko nam je poznato, knjige ne mogu da se kupe u knji?arama u Srbiji. Najbr?i način za kupovinu je preko Interneta.

Da se uključim i ja ovde - pojedine banke izdaju čekove koji va?e u inostranstvu. Njihova izrada je brza i ne ko?ta ni?ta specijalno, a re?avaju problem. Naravno, potrebno je poneti stranicu aplikacije na kojoj se navodi zahtev za tim čekom, kako bi u banci znali adresu i tačan naziv institucije da bi izradili ček.

Novi pripremni seminari za SAT i TOEFL počinju od sredine januara 2008. godine. Pročitajte vi?e detalja na na?em forumu - http://www.iacbg.org/board/index.php?showtopic=1028 i http://www.iacbg.org/board/index.php?showtopic=1027 .

Predstavnici Međunarodnog akademskog centra će u četvrtak, 13. decembra, boraviti u Podgorici. U prostorijama Američkog kutka u tom gradu će sa početkom u 16 časova biti organizovano predavanje o studiranju u SAD i polaganju va?nih prijemnih testova. Zainteresovani za studiranje u SAD moći će da postavljaju pitanja na kraju predavanja. Osim ovog događaja, na?i predstavnici će u nekoliko ?kola u Bijelom Polju, Podgorici i Baru predstaviti program Američkog univerziteta u Bugarskoj i konkursa za puno stipendiranje đaka iz Crne Gore i Srbije.

Stare teme sa najfrekventnijih delova foruma pomerene su u posebnu kategoriju "Arhiva". Na ovaj potez smo bili prinuđeni zbog previ?e korisnika koji nisu previ?e vični forumu i koji nisu obraćali pa?nju na činjenicu da otvaraju teme koje su godinu ili dve godine stare. Do starih tema i dalje mo?ete doći - pregledanjem tema u kategoriji "Arhiva" ili pretragom.

Predavanje o studiranju u SAD odr?ano je 5. decembra u prostorijama Američkog kutka u Novom Sadu. Interesovanje je bilo veliko, a pitanja dosta... Sve ono ?to niste pitali na predavanju, pitajte na forumu ili preko e-maila! Zahvaljujemo se prijateljima iz Američkog kutka u Novom Sadu na fotografijama

No problem. Good luck!
