You cant optain permission for travel without a visa on ur passport .. So you can use the temporarily military exemption on ur interview then optain the permission for travel after you receive the visa
Hope this help you

You have top academic results?
 
What about the military service ? I'm a recent college graduate and I still have to sort out my situation concerning this stupid thing ? Can I get the visa before sorting this out ?

You mentioned Berkely because of the college.
It is one of the top universities in the world and only accepts those with the best results. You don't get to go there just because you live in the area.

I don't understand "what about the address"? I thought I had answered that question but I must have misunderstood something?
As for CA bad for immigrants, haha, it has high immigrant representation at every level all the way from the most menial jobs to the most senior jobs (think Elon Musk, and he is not as rare as you might think...) - very immigrant friendly, very diverse and accepting of immigrants as a result. Not like ...certain areas in the US where you stand out as an immigrant and may not be as welcome... Of course there are other immigrant friendly places not only CA.
Anyway there are many colleges in the U.S., many state colleges that are not as difficult as a Berkely to get into and where you can still get a good education. California has 3 of the best engineering universities in the world, but there are plenty others apart from these. It is one of the more expensive states to live though so that is something else to consider.

All kinds of immigrants, not just Mexicans! Many Asians (both east and subcontinent)! Many Africans!
Yeah it's expensive but anywhere as a student will be ...
I stand corrected but I think state colleges are well less than $20k a year for instate residents.
