Daa.. Vot gady..
Mne internship otkazali tol'ko potomu chto ya zdes' do Maya tol'ko. U nas Anrew Golda advisor, no i on takoy zhe tip. "Esli ty ne nashel internship po major, idi v office rabotay" (u menya Environmental Engineering major, a v univere dazhe spetsial'nosti takoy net) A kakogo skazhite mne figa v office internship?
Slysh' Kiril, oni shto dazhe besplatno ne razreshili rabotat'? Ne, nu nado zhe do chego doshli!
A ved' v proshlom godu nashi zdes' do Iyulya rabotali.. I ne tol'ko u sebya v gorode a v drugih shtatah.
A chto esli my vse vmeste na workshope skazhem im chtob oni nam dali vozmozhnost' proyti normal'ny internship?
Kiril, ty byl u nas v UPenn1 forume? Esli net zaydi kak nibud', posmotri, mozhet svoi idei kakie nibud' predlozhish'? Bylo by klassno.
A burzhuyi kak byli burzhuyi, tak i ostalis imi.

It's awful!!! I can't even find an appropriate word to describe that!They are just being jerks! Vot podlye!
Kirill, ya by na tvoem meste vse taki poshla v bank. Obyasnil by etomu presidentu kak obstoyat dela. Mozhet on by soglasilsya tebya vzyat' na prosto pltnyy internship do maya. A v mae ty vernulsya by domoy, sdelal by visu s pomoschyu togo zhe presidenta (esli u tebya est' offer for job, to ty mozhesh' perenesti svoi 2 years home residency requirement na potom), priekhat' obratno, douchitsya zdes' do kontsa, rabotat'. I vsego to tebe nado bylo pogovorit' s presidentom! Pover', esli by ty vse obyasnil etomu presidentu to on tebya ponyl by. Delo v tom chto ACTR eto governmental organissation i u nijh svoi interesy, a u presidenta banka svoi. I esli emu eto bylo by nado, to on by tebe pomog. U nego navernyaka gorazdo bol'she svyazey (i deneg) chto by eto sdelat'. ty mog by emu skazat' chto oni tebe ne dayut razreshenie potomu chto u nikh takoy policy i oni boyatsya chto esli oni sdelayut isklyuchenie tebe, to vse ostal'nye tozhe togo zhe zakhotyat, a oni ne mogut pozvolit' etogo vsem. Skazhi chto oni tak zhe boyatsya chto eto dast tebe vozmozhnost' tut ostatsya, chto protivorechit ikh policy (mnogie studenty tak sdelali, oni prosto otkazalis' ekhat' obratno, ya lichno znayu odnu). Obyasni chto oni tebe razreshili by rabotat' na etot bank v kachestve platnogo interna, no ne rabotnika, skazhi chto ty by sdelal tu zhe samuyu rabotu kak intern, kotoruyu ty by sdelal kak sluzhaschiy banka. God! This was such an awsome chance! And may be it's still not too late. Kirill, that's my advise to you. GO AND DO IT! You made an impression on the President of one of the most reliable Banks of the US, don't lose that chance! Go there, or call him! Talk to him, no matter what. I still think it's not too late, just explain him everything in details, don't let it pass you by. Pover', on tebya poymet, a esli i net, to tebe uzhe vse ravno nechego teryat'! Kirill, DO IT!!! Takoy shans byvaet raz v sto let, i daetsya on ne vsem.
I don't even know who you are, but I can imagine how hard you've been working to achieve that. You deserve it.
X-ray prav, mozhet nam stoit na etom workshop skazat' chtoby oni nam dali shans na normal'nyy internship. Mne oni tozhe otkazali v normal'nom univerovskom internshipe potomu chto esli ya v etom semestre uchus', to iternship nado vzyat' letom, a ACCELS nam tut razreshayut byt' tol'ko do maya. Ya pravda vzyala practiku i ACCELS mne ego zaschityvayut kak internship, i eto kak raz po moemu majoru, no eto on campus. A esli by ya vzayla normal'nyy department internship, to on by byl vo pervykh pltnyy, vo vtorykh v na kakom nibud' deystvitel'no popular radio ili TV station.
Dumaya chto eto uzhe cherezchur! Oni kontroliruyut kazhdyy nash shag. Skol'ko vsego my nne mozhem delat' v normal'noy studentcheskoy zhizni tut tol'ko iz za togo chtonam ne razreshaet ACCELS!
No nado chto by na workship eto mnenie razdelyali vse. Potomu chto v odinochku my nichegone sdelaem, a vmeste my deystvitelno sila. Chto plokho, eto to, chto v Washington my uzhe edem razdel'no, v zavisimosti ot togo u kogo kogda uroki zakanchivayutsya. Eto mezhdu prochim tozhe plokho. U menya uroki zakanchivayutsya 17, a 18 u menya bilet. Tak ya dolzhna gotovitsya k finals ili k otyezdu? Oni nam ne dali dazhe 1 dnya na podgotovku k otyezdu! I oni nam ne razreshayut tut ostatsya dazhe vsego na 1 lishnyuyu nedelyu, esli dazhe my soglasny sami platit' za zhilyo i edu. U menya tut neskol'ko druzey u kogo ya mogla by ostat'sya na nedel'ku posle ucheby, i oni mne predlozhili ostatsya.
No esli my dazhe poedem po neskol'ko chelovek v ashington, esli vse budut eto govorit' (ne obyazatel'no chtob my vse tam byli vmeste, glavnoe chtob vse vmeste podderzhali etu ideyu), to mozhet v sleduyuschem godu u nikh budet luchshe na schet etogo, i puskay nas uzhe ne budet, zato komu to iz CIS stanet legche!

Kirill, once again (izvini chto opyat' eto govoryu, ya prosto nikak ne mogu uspokoitsya i smiritsya s tem chto oni sdelali), poydi v etot bank, ili pozvoni presidentu banka, pogovori s nim. Net documentov? Vot tebe i prichina s nim pogovorit'. Go! Do it! Poymi eto kak prikaz, kak pros'bu, tol'ko poydi i pogovoi s nim.
And, please keep me informed on this case, if you don't mind. I am really concerned about it.

Best of Luck,

Hello, Kiril!

I started to work, and after 2 weeks I just sent them that form with all the signatures. I did not care too much about their approval, because they do not deserve so much attention from us, and it is nothing illegal in working. You do need their approval if you want to be paid for work. As I understood you do not care that much about being paid, so you just talk to the director of the bank to let you work without being paid.

By the way, before receiving the stipend for February-March we had to give the schedule of spring exams and the airplane tickets to our International Studies Advisor. I am still wondering what are they up to...

In case this means anything to you, know that you are not alone and you have a lot of friends that support you.

Hope to hear good news from you soon!

Best regards,
Dorina

I think that the best way would be if the president accepted you to the job, but also filled in the form for the internship. That way you could send ACCELS their damn form, and not even let them know that you are working. A girl from Ukraine works here (well, she works on campus), and they don't even know that she works, she never wrote them about it. The less you ask them and the more independent you act, the less restrictions you get.

Good luck,

Hey guys, thank you very much for your understanding of the situation and support.
But let me say you a few more things...You know i can't work without INS Approval (first approved by ACCELS) anyway, because that job is off campus...Nobody will let me work especially in a bank without those valid documents, because they don't care about your problems, they don't want to have troubles with state and local authorities owing to my invalid employment. Moreover, the president of the bank higly discourage me from trying to pass unpayed intership, because alomost all the banks due to their policies can't give you any access to customers without being in status of temporary employee...So you should work or no intership...Try to understand him too: why somebody have to sit with me and waste time with me, but when you work then you are doing practise by yourself...!! And i have a job in cafeteria now, well very tough job of dish-washer, but i am used to hard work so at least i am earning my bucks without
"morochit" my poor head....
So, at least i have some money, and that's not bad, but you know: "Iz knyazi v gryazi" that's "pleasant"...
Because when you achieve something and somebody prevents you to share your deserved results and awards then you might get crazy of all that staff, i am very disappointed and frustrated because of this internship and all those "spy games" of ACCELS. They take much more "care" of us than they should probably do....

Kirill, he discouraged you from unpaid internship, what about paid internship? Khotya, mozhet oni internov vobsche ne khotyat. But anyways, you made an impression on the president, if you can't work their, at leat call him and explain your situation, don't let him think that you are just an irresponsible guy. Let him know of your situation, and if he can't help you, then as I already said, you don't have anything to lose now!
