CCards for Intl

International students, what credit cards do you have? I applied for Citi Forward but they rejected my application because I don't have a permanent residency in the US -- I said I am not a US citizen or Permanent Resident because, well, I'm not.

Any ideas on which card to get if you're an F-1 student? College junior going to SA BB and hopefully convert to FT.

btw, before I came to the US i got a credit card (also from Citi) under my name but branched off from my dad's account. Suggest calling Citi and telling them this to try and get the Forward card?
