she's a university student now but would like to take some time off at least to visit me. however, that's only good for 3 months right? so i want to know if she can get some kind of temp job or even enroll in school. if she can do either, how hard would it be to get the visa?

Enroll for school in the US isn't hard, but is going to be very expensive as a foreign student. Even in a community college.\n\nShe can't work without a Visa.\nAs a European citizen, she can come here for 90 days with no Visa, just to visit you.\nShe can go to Mexico or Canada and come back for another 90 days if she wants to...\nShe can get a B-2 Visa if she wants to visit you and stay longer. Most likely she'll have to show 'ties' to her home country as well as enough money to support herself during this time and a round trip ticket.\nYou guys can get engaged and get her a K-1 Visa, which she can start working with or studying, but you'll have to get married within 90 days of her arrival :-)\nIf you choose this, after you get married she can easily get a probational green card.\nTwo years into the marriage, the probation is removed, and within three years she can become a Citizen.\nEnjoy.

Her kids can only receive financial aid if they are legal. If they where legal they would all ready have SS #'s. If they want to attend college they would have to pay out of state fees for attending college and they really are high even for junior. The fastest way for her kids to go to college is for her to become a resident before they are 18 years old. If she has been working here for a couple of years she is able to apply for residency. Which will most likely take anywhere from 1-2 years for her to get residency and her kids to automatically become residents.

That may not be so easy. I am not a lawyer, but I had to study this a lot not so long ago because of my status (today, legal alien, permanent resident). First, you never mentioned how she got into the country. Is she legal? Is she a permanent legal resident?

Check with the U.S. Immigration Department, you would probably only need a student visa, but check with them, they would know.

everything is possible if you put your mind into it and for you to do that, you have to go to the immigration website and see what would be needed so she can get a visa. here is the link and hope it can help you.\n\nhttp://www.greencardplus.com/visa_f1.html

They can get a work visa if they can find a sponsor, or an educational visa if they are full-time students and sponsored by an accredited institution. Otherwise, couldn't they just go back to their own country and then come back with a renewed travel visa?

Student visas are "duration of status". That means they last as long as you are a student. You have to be enrolled full time. When the student enrolls, the school will fill out the I-20 with an estimated graduation date. If the student is still in school on that date, the school can file an extension to allow the student to complete his/her studies. The student can also transfer schools. The visa expires automatically if the student graduates from the program, drops out, or fails to remain a full time student.\n\nIf she has lost her student status, she will have to apply for reinstatement if she lost it less than 60 days prior or she will have to apply for a whole new visa. In the meantime, she is out of status and is accruing unlawful presence in the U.S.

Until he is 18 or has some kind of medical condition, you have the same chances as anyone else does. If he was born in the U.S. and you are not a citizen, but want to 'involve' his legal status in your plight regardless of the purpose, besides medical, yes tech. your son is an "anchor" baby. Otherwise there would be no reason to mention his legal status would there? If you just want a visa, what does your son's status have to do with anything?? Contact the u.s. consulate nearest you, you will find that what I am saying isn't so far fetched. How exactly did you manage to have a baby outside your country and NOT have some kind of visa in the first place?? If you did things the LEGAL way to begin with, you would already be aware of what's involved in obtaining your visa since you should have had one in the first place. AM I WRONG??

Yes, you need both a visa and a work permit, and it is not easy to get them, it usually takes time, a lot of time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no, thats not possible, no one can go to the US with a tourist visa and study. first of all, what is usually done for foreigners to study in colleges, like as you said, harvard, you would first apply from you country, wait for the response and if you are accepted, you are automatically given a student visa where you can study and work part time. \n\nfrom my view, it sounds pretty unreal in what your friend tells ya, thats no possible, i mean we are in America, if it was that easy, then everyone else would be doing it. \n\nanother possiblily to get a job in the states is to apply for an international job offer, but like 99% they look for people with high degrees and from there you are able to go and work there with a visa a do as you please, study as you like,ecc.\n\nthe last way of living in america Legally, is simply applying for a green card and from then on you are able to study and/or work as one pleases. its a long process.\n\nso just ask your friend next time, 'how on earth is your aunt going to do all this to get in to the us first, the toursit visa doesnt allow you to study or work permanently?

There are usually more options on university applications. She should indicate that she is not a citizen. The following question should ask what type of document (if any) she holds. You mentioned she is an immigrant, this means she either holds a Visa, work permit, etc. If she has a visitor's visa she should apply as an International Student. If she is a resident alien, there should be a place for her to indicate that. If she is undocumented, she still has options. If she is planning on attending a university in california and graduated from a California HS (and attended for at least 3 yrs.) she can still attend and pay resident registration fees. I hope this helps!

OK,  as far page 22 goes in the naturalization guide, it states: What if I was outside the US for between 6 and 12 months? \nIf you leave the US for more than 6 months, but less than 1 year, you have broken or disrupted your continuous residence.What is messed up about this is that all the time she accumulated prior to her trip,after the date she became a permanent resident, goes down the tubes! However , those eleven months outside now count as time she is re-accumulating back here,since her return! I  take it you guys are married at least three years otherwise she will not be eligible. Let's say she returned today, she can start counting form tomorrow! So when will she be eligible again?\n 2 Years and 1 month from tomorrow's date! Get it!  That's pretty harsh, I know!\n   It is just as  important to keep track of both physical presence and continuous residence. Physical presence involves the total number of days you were outside the US on ALL of your trips. Continuous residence involves the total number of days you were outside the US in a SINGLE TRIP! In all she has to accumulate at least 3 years because she is married to you (A US CITIZEN) In general, do not stay outside of the US for more than 6 months!

Yup.  You can apply for an F-1 visa and come in as a student.

If you get caught you will be deported and your visa status revoked.  I advise you to seek employment on your school campus, this is the only form of employment INS will accept for F-1 students.  Please re think your choice, iI know it is hard being an International student and not working or working part-time, but it is better to be safe than sorry.

Hi, you need her to confirm if she has been rejected for a visa to anywhere since she got the passport she is currently using? If she has this would be why a W was stamped into her passport. Anyone who has been rejected for a visa may get this stamp on there passport and it will last for the duration of the passport. As she was given entry clearance into the UK last time it shouldnt affect her coming back as long as she doesn't overstay or apply for public funds when she is here. This will apply to ever time she applies until she needs a new passport. When she needs a new passport I recommend she applies for a new one so the stamp want remain on her passport should she extend it.\n\nHope this helps \n\n\nmgi1975

Yes, I am going through a similar situation. Your question has really scared me.  April 05?!? My husband, from Mexico, just applied in September of this year.  Was your wife in the country illegally or is she currently? That would delay things, right?

no u can't sponser, the only want she can stay legaly is to get married to a US citizen, since she brake the imigration law (overstayed her visa) she will not be elegible for any kind of sponsership for example H1B or she can't also get a student visa F1\ngood luck
