Applying for OPT in USA

Hi Guys,

Today, I just finished applying for my OPT in USA! Yeay! As you all know, currently I am living in USA, pursuing my Master Degree and about to graduate. So, I have to find a job ASAP. In order for me to be able to stay in the USA legally and find a job, I need to apply for OPT.

Applying for OPT is not complicated. I can understand for the first timer you must found it so lazy to do it and hard (I feel the same way before haha!) But, when you do it, its not that complicated.

For some of you who willing to apply for OPT  as foreigners, here I share you the steps:

1. You need to ask your school for your new I-20 with OPT recommendation (it may take several days)
2. You have to decide when you want to start your OPT
3. Fill out and print I-765 form (from USCIS website)
4. Prepare 2 of 4×6 (US visa size) latest photograph
5. Money with amount of $380.00
6. Your new I-20 with OPT and all previous I-20 you have (photocopy version)
7. I-94 form (from USCIS website)

8. Your biography passport (photocopy only)
9. Your US visa (photocopy only)
10. MAIL (ONLY!) everything to the chosen USCIS (your school will recommend for you)

That's all! I hope this information helpful for you! Be sure you check everything before you mail it to USCIS. AND, mail it at least a week ago before the deadline.

Blogger! It's Been A While

Hey Everyone!

It's been a long time since my last post. To be honest, I found it so hard to be committed to write a blog. Hahaha! But, surprisingly, my desire to write a blog come back! So, HERE I AM! Hahaha!

Just a quick follow up so you all know my situation now:
Currently, I am staying in San Francisco, CA to continue my study in Master Degree and I will be graduating soon! I am so happy to be here, even though it is a bit lonely. Well, what I mean by lonely is, I am (again) the YOUNGEST Master of International Marketing Candidate at my university. Aaannnndd, it is not about youth anymore, most of the people that study Master Degree, are old! (sshhh!) Indeed, they are all so much older than me, and I found it hard to socialize with them as we have different way to think, to talk, to live, etc. But, I am trying my best to always strengthen and widen my connection in this world. So, just wish for the best! 

So, my plan after I'm graduating is, I will try to find job here in United States, and IF I am able to work here, I will stay here for, as long as I can. While, IF I cannot find any job here, I will go back to Indonesia, my home country. HAHAHA! (that's tragic)

New Objective:
In my Master Degree, I've learned a lot about Digital Marketing. Therefore, now, I want to apply the theory in my own blog. I am willing to change my blog, includes the contents and everything. Create a new and fresh looks for my blogs to be digest for all readers in the world! I hope, by doing this and committed with this,  I will get more followers and more attention from public. HAHAHA!

What will I do next:
Currently, Indonesia is buzzing about the President Election which will be held around this week. In USA, because we are abroad and not in Indonesia, the date is different, we are 4 days earlier. And guess who will choose?? 

YES! No. 2: JOKOWI - JK!

Ask me WHY? It is because:
1. I choose for pluralism
2. I choose for mental revolution
3. I choose for democracy
