How soon can I travel abroad using a temporary I-551?

We Answered:

After you arrive your Green card will be mail to you usually within a month ... If they do stamp your passport with the I-551 stamp ...you could leave straight away.

So the answer is Yes ... but it would be better to get the full card ..

Which medical field should I pursue?

We Answered:

I am in school for Diagnostic Medical Sonography, where you perform ultrasounds. We don't only do "baby" (prenatal) ultrasounds, but also abdominal, pelvic, breast, neonatal neuro., and others. The most prevalent degree type is an 18 mos- 2 yr Associate's degree. Here is a site with more info: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos273.htm
And look here for an *accredited" program: http://www.caahep.org/Find-An-Accredited…

Here are some other career ideas:

-Registered Nurse: 4 year Bachelor's http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos083.htm

2010 Summer Programs?

We Answered:

The research internship would be the best choice by far. That would look great on your college applications. However, those are extremely competitive. After that, the order looks good. Medical terminology is least likely to help you at all - that's something people who aren't even going into nursing take.

Andre Dirrell out of Super Six Tournament with injuries that could end his career? Andre Ward vs. Lucian Bute?

We Answered:

I feel that the people who claimed that Dirrell faked that injury need to apologize to the man. It was clearly evident that was no acting job. Dirrell was very seriously hurt, so much so, the man was crying because he thought that he had been stopped and had no idea where he was. I like Abraham, but I felt that his blatant cheap shot was the act of a poor sport, someone who couldn't handle getting his ears boxed off so he comes back with that. Absolutely shameful in my honest opinion.

I too agree that boxing's governing bodies should have given Abraham some disciplinary action for his blatant foul, but I don't see that happening, unfortunately. If retirement is what it takes for Dirrell to live a normal life again, then so be it, but he will be missed as he is a tremendous talent.

Kessler's retirement was a smart thing to do. Losing your sight is a big deal, and Kessler, had he fought on, could have put his sight at risk, so it is good to see he stepped down before doing any further damage to his eye.

I really hope Taylor does not come back. I like the guy, he's seems like a decent fellow, and is very skilled. But his stamina issues will forever ensure him that he will continue to be stopped in the late rounds, and if I were him, I'd feel that two brutal 12th round stoppages would be enough for me to call it quits.

As for Lucian Bute vs. Andre Ward, that fight, if it were made, it would be for the undisputed, lineal super middleweight championship of the world and would be for The Ring Magazine belt, as Bute and Ward are ranked numbers 1 and 2, respectively, by the ring. It would make for an epic fight, though it wouldn't be a very easy fight for Ward, who will be facing a powerful, clever southpaw fighter. At the same time, Bute would be facing a very slick fighter himself in Ward. It would be an epic clash of styles. I'd actually pay for this fight if it were made, to be honest. But I do agree 100 percent that this is the fight to be made. I feel either guy has a chance to win, Bute if he can land that left of his, and Ward if he can befuddle Bute the way he did Mikkel Kessler.
