Get a copy of Peterson's Guide (for residential schools) and Bears' Guide (for online schools). Get some university catalogs (or go to their websites). Get the schools' applications (or download them from websites or apply online). Get a student visa from the U. S. Immigration & Naturalization Service. Find out about financial aid. I'm not sure if foreign students qualify for US government based financial aid http://www.fafsa.ed.gov but you could look into financial aid from your own government. Private financial aid is locatable through http://www.fastweb.com and you could also go to http://www.amazon.com to locate scholarship books. Also go to the financial aid office of the schools you are applying to as well as contacting your department about teaching assistantships. You will also need to look into taking the Gtraduate Management Admissions Test. Also, contact some of your old professors (usually three) about getting letters of recommendation and work on writing your personal essay.

Start getting a list together of full time Ph.D. programs at major universities (Ph.D.'s take a long time as a full-time student... trying to do it part time may be a 10 year+ process). Most of them will require a GMAT score, plus your undergrad and MBA transcripts. Depending on your country of origin, you may need to provide a TOEFL score as well. Make sure that these schools were accredited! If you went to college at Bob Jones University, be prepared to retake your senior year (yes, this did actually occur to someone I know). Ph.D. programs are highly selective, so they are discriminating over which schools' alumni they will accept. Then, apply to the programs that interest you. Once you are accepted, they will refer you to the International Student Office to walk you through the process of Student VISA sponsorship. As long as you are attending a MAJOR research university, then this is a relatively easy process. One of the major hurdles for you is to prove your financial stability for the time that you will be in the States. This might be a letter from the university detailing any scholarships that you received or teaching assignments, research assistantships, or fellowships to which you have been appointed. Otherwise, it's a letter from your bank saying that you have enough cash to cover tuition, room, and board. The Int'l Student Office will then discuss your housing needs, and possibly get you in touch with a community member or classmate to help you with the logistics of your move. Good luck!

I'm not sure there is such a thing a PhD in Waste Management (be it solid or not...). I very well could be wrong, it is just something I have never heard of. Perhaps a PhD in Environmental Science would do the trick, then you could specialize in waste management? Better yet, perhaps civil engineering then specialize in waste management! I hope you find a program that fits. Good luck!

That is a vague question. You should make sure you have an undergraduate degree in a mathematical field. You should take a course and know what the field is about.
