DV winners...you guys are the lucky ones and your first door is open for you. Now its upto you. how to take it from there. if you have your bachelors in nepal please apply for masters. There are thousands and thousands of university in US and some require good grade and some don't. So my suggestion is take GRE and pursue your masters degree. Please do not go to Gas station or Dhoti's place. This is because once you start to work you will start to see some dollars in your pocket and you will forget about the study. But I know none of us are rich enough to have our parents to pay our tution, so we all have to work But if you can get a GA (graduate assistant) or TA (Teaching Assistant)( when i say TA you don't have to have teaching exp to apply for this position but will be helpfull) Some department will not have enough funding (apply in falls this is what they call their fiscal year and most will have enough fund for GA and TA) but look around in different departments and you wil be able to find you one or some department head can stronglyly recommend you to other department which will be easier for you to get into other department's TA position. wish you all the Best
