2178.0. "US Sponsorship" by SUBURB::TUDORK (SCEADUGENGA) Thu Jan 26 1989 11:15

    My sister wants to go to the US after she leaves university in the
    summer.  She has been given the opportunity to stay for 3 months,
    but needs a sponsor residing in the US.
    
    Since we dont have any personal friends in the States and this is
    the only US conference I note in is there anyone out there who could
    tell me more about the sponsorship system and if its not too much
    hassle possibly sponsor my sister.
    
    I quite understand if it is not possible to do this.
    
    Many thanks for any help you can give.

    Im her sister!  This note has also been posted in Euro_Woman.

    Sorry the topic name should be something like - US Sponsorship -
    but I don&t have the expertise to edit it.

    It's in here because cat people help each other out.  Unfortunately,
    I don't have a clue as to what's involved in sponsorship.

    >... because cat people help each other out. (2178.3)
    
    I agree with what Karen said. It is here because Katie has
    been a part of this notesfile and needed some help, so she 
    went to the people she knows and with whom she feels 
    comfortable. 
    
    I wish I could offer some info on sponsorship tho.

    Perhaps the local U.S. embassy could tell you what is involved in
    being a sponsor, and you could post the info here.

    You're right as to why its here - perhaps when it stops getting
    entries the mods would delete it.
    
    I've asked my sister to contact the US Embassy and find out what
    is involved.  Once we have the info I'll post it.
    
    Thanks for appreciating the problem.

    Please keep us posted.  I have no objection to your note.  In 
    fact, I object to it being removed.  I'd like to find out about
    this too.

    While the base note might have been deleted or returned to the author
    in some other conferences, please rest assured that the moderators of
    this conference have ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION of deleting this note. I
    think that Karen Kolling summed up the reason quite well in .3.

    When you find out what would be required for sponsorship, please feel
    free to post as a reply to this note.

    I'm glad that Kate has gone to her `friends' for help.  I would
    also try to cover all bases too.
    
    I don't know anything about sponsorships but there is a college
    notesfile in this conference.  Maybe you can find something there
    that will help you.

    Latest bulletin from my sister is that the university may be able
    to help.  They may be able to sort out some kind of "exchange" scheme
    whereby they give accomodation to a US student during the summer
    and she gets sponsorship over there.
    
    She's very touched by and grateful for your help and so am I.  This
    conference really brings out the wonderful traits that you Americans
    have (particularly cat lovers :-)
    
    Thanks guys - I think we'll be OK - I'll post it as soon as I know
    more.
