- 1. What to do after enrolling in an LL.M program in the US
- 2. Secure your place at a Law School 1 Once you’ve been accepted at a Law School, pay a deposit fee to secure your place. Your school will send you an acceptance letter and I-20 form to get your student visa (F-1).
- 4. Find housing tips Finding housing advise for international students Look for a lot of options in advance in order to be able to have choice and to compare the price, the location, and the neighborhood. SHOULD YOU LIVE ALONE? | Pros & Cons of Living By Yourself Pros: you get to decorate however you want, freedom (you can do whatever you want), no need to compromise, you determine your level of cleanliness, time to yourself, etc. Cons: expensive, you have to do all of the chores yourself, it can get quiet, you can get a little antisocial, there is no one around to share experiences and stories with, etc. What it's Like Living in a Shared House Pros: great for personal growth, learn a lot on how to clean effectively and cook Cons: small disputes may happen often 3
- 5. Try to connect with other students before your program begins 4 1. Facebook page of your university Example: USC Gould School of Law 2. Facebook Alumni pages Example: Pepperdine Law Alumni 3. Facebook private groups Example: Pepperdine Law - Class of 2021 4. Facebook group that unites people from your country Example: UCSD Japanese Student Association
- 6. Buy a health insurance plan 5 1. Mandatory school-sponsored group insurance plan that obliges you to choose a plan that your school provides. It may be automatically included in your tuition fee. 1. School-sponsored insurance plan that allows you to have a school plan or a plan that meets school requirements. *Schools have a “waiver form” where you can check what is required. You and the insurance company have to sign a “waiver form” and return it to school. 1. No school-sponsored insurance plan that enables you to buy your own insurance. ** Find out what insurance plan your school offers, and then based on what you know, decide what to do next
- 7. Step 1 of getting a visa: apply for F-1 visa online 6 Photo requirements ● Form DS-160 (fill this form online) ● Submit your photo (online), the photo requirements are: - 2 x 2 inches (51 x 51 mm) - in color - no shadows - recently taken photo (within the last 6 months) - plain white background - don’t wear glasses on the photo - don’t wear a uniform - don’t wear electronic devices such as headphones - look straight in the camera - have a neutral facial expression (don’t laugh, don’t frown, etc.) ● Pay a non-refundable application fee - SEVIS I-901 fee online ● Schedule an appointment at the nearest US embassy online
- 8. Step 2 of getting a visa: apply for F-1 visa at US embassy 7 Remember to get the following before going: ● A passport that will not expire for at least 6 months during your stay in the US ● Acceptance Letter from your university ● Completed I-20 form ● Barcode from the confirmation page of form DS-160 ● Receipt for payment of application fee (SEVIS I-901) ● Photo ● Bank Statement (evidence that you can pay for your education and living) ● Academic proof that you are ready to study at the university you applied for: your existing degrees, diplomas and transcripts, test results needed for your school in the US ● Certificate of good conduct ● A medical certificate that states that you are a healthy person.
- 9. Spend time with your loved ones before leaving to the US 8 Remember that you will not see your loved ones for a while. And even though now you may want some freedom and you are excited about your forthcoming departure, know that you will miss your dearest people while in the US. Try to devote all your free time to your loved ones. Have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with them, enjoy their company, and be present in the moment. Later you will appreciate your effort to spend every free minute with someone who loves you. It is not to say that you will have a hard time in the US (your experience will be amazing), it is just you will be homesick because the home will be very far away.

Notes de l'éditeur
- What does the image of leaves have to do with “enrolling in LL.M program”? -- I’d change the photo to something else
- Once you’ve been accepted at a Law School, pay a deposit fee to secure your place. Your school will send you an acceptance letter and I-20 form to get your student visa (F-1) I would bold “acceptance letter”, “I-20 form”, “deposit fee”
- I assume the pink/green colors mean nothing here, but I think that lamp goes with the green box and the couch goes with the pink box, but it doesn’t. I’d probably remove the lamp and couch. Or have the boxes all in one color.
- Provide a tip to the last video If I was busy, I wouldn’t watch the video. Maybe try giving brief tips from each of the videos.
- Why are you using an image instead of text? Link the examples to the actual pages. I’m lazy, I would like to copy and paste instead of typing “UCSD Japanese Student Association”. One, it’s an image so I can’t copy/paste. Second, I’d like to click link and direct me there so it minimizes my time to type. I’d also try to go to a wider audience. Give other examples aside from Facebook. What if I don’t have Facebook? How do I connect with other students? Remove the “How to meet other students”, since your actual heading already talks about it (connecting with other students) or rephrase the first heading to “How to meet other students before program begins” “Moving to a new country will be new and overwhelming, but also exciting” “If you know at least one person in the country, you may feel less alone and a little less shocked.” (personal opinion...I wouldn’t say I’d feel less alone, I wouldn’t ONLY IF the person is in the same city as I am. But if I’m in CA and my friend is in FL, then I’ll still feel alone) -- I’d probably rephrase it, but that’s my own opinion. You may feel differently about it. What I get out of these slides are names, but nothing else. For example, Facebook groups. Okay, that’s great. But what facebook groups? Your goal should also minimize user’s time by providing more useful information such as providing an example of a facebook group.
- Indent the secondary bullets (this gives hierarchy and easier to read as in knowing which bullet it pertains to) I really don’t like the “second” heading. Remove “1. Apply for F-1 visa online” and for the first heading rephrase it to “Step 1 of getting a visa: Apply for F-1 online” Have the Form DS-160 link that can direct users to the actual site to fill out the form Provide an example photo of what a good photo is like Create secondary bullets under “photo requirements”
- Same thing goes to this heading: “Step 2 of getting a visa: Apply for F-1 at U.S. Embassy” Same thing, have a link to all the forms to the official site Remove periods in bullet points
- Instead of “family”, I’d rephrase to “loved ones” because that includes friends, families, anyone that’s close the person
