Hi everyone, I applying (from India) to US grad schools in Fall 2011. Although I am not married now, I might get married by next June. My would be wife is in her medical school and is doing her internship here. We are planning so that she will go a year later (~2012) after completing 1st and 2nd steps of USMLE.

The school application forms wants to know that and I am not sure if F1 VISA will be good for me...

I'm working on a self-contained theoretical framework from a foundational starting point. The work touches upon concepts from general relativity, quantum foundations, and cosmology, attempting to connect them based on a single relational principle. It has now reached a point, where some parameter free values seemingly...
