hello to everyone. I need some help on getting to the USA

[li_09 40]

Yes. K1 visa

Less money and time for am immigrant visa to America? No such thing.

Let's suppose I don't have a gf in the US. What do I do to live and work there?

[Asia 2,498]

Is there any to go there as an imigrant? I mean, any way that would cost me less money and time

Nope.

If there was an easier and cheaper way to immigrate to the US, I think half of the world would be there already.

[nobbie 105]

This sounds like someone just trying to get to the US by whatever means.

[Avery Cates 1,141]

Borderline fraudulence like I suspected by the first post.

It's not about getting together with a loved one, but solely about immigrating.

I'm a student of electrical engeenering in Albanian, Europe. Its been a while since I started talking to an american girl. We really like each other, and we are looking forward to take this kind of relationship to another level. I was hoping to go to the US as a engeenering student, but I can't effort the payment (40.000 dollars for 1 year). I need some advice on what kind of visa should I apply and what do I do to live there after I travel to the US (if I get the visa). God bless u all

Your best bet really sounds like a student visa. Because if your sole intention is really immigration or living and working in the US, as a student, you can prove to the community that you're a valuable electrical engineering candidate. And since skilled trades such as this are always in demand, you'd have a better shot at a job and then being sponsored by an employer for a job visa.

Nothing is guaranteed, but immigration is certainly not as easy as "come meet my girlfriend, then go have her file a K1 and then I can live in the US." Nope, you'd have to meet her, you'd have to prove to immigration that it's a legitimate relationship with a legit intention to marry within 90 days. Then, let's say you do that and you don't marry within 90 days, well, I'm afraid you can't adjust your status just because things didn't work out with her. So, try and find another way to come on a student visa. Find another school, find something else. If the relationship is meant to work out in the long run, it will.

Based on your scenario, it seems like you have two particular desires, both of which are driven by some condition. I would work on them one at a time....Work and Student Visa appear to be of the equation until you figure out this relationship thing. You haven't even met each other in person, and your easiest way to come to America will be based on whether or not that works out. Things can rapidly change once you finally meet face to face and spend time together (or live together)...or...it could blossom into something more special..

Come here on a Visitors Visa and figure out if you two are truly meant to be...At best, you have at least 90 days to determine that and then go from there...As you stated, you don't have the money for school right now, so what's the rush...But don't use an American Citizen as your vehicle for ulterior motives....People behind the protection of a computer can turn out to be totally different after the fact....

Also..Consider the fact that even if you decide to move forward with marriage, you will be in the US filing for AOS and will NOT have the ability to have gainful employment for some time until the government allows you the ability to do so...So that means all the financial burden is on her for a while...Is she prepared for that? Can you two survive in the US on her income until your dream of being a student is realized? I would build the relationship first, and then work on school...Even if you file for a K-1 fiancé visa, you have to prove it's a bona fide relationship..so sounds to me like you two need to solidify that first...

I always wanted to live in USA. And now I found someone I really like, I have one more reason. My girl lives in California. I researched for the collage prices there, and turns out to be very expensive for me. If someone has information on how do I study for free in the US, please tell me. And about the engagement and marriage, not only doesn't really help with papers, but I think we are too young for that (I'm 19 and she's 17). I must find a way to visit USA, and after I visit I'd like to stay there permanently (apply for green card).

Where are you at in your studies ? If you are nearly done you cn start looking at US companies that are looking for foreign engineers. One of the sad things is a lot of jobs that don't require you to be a US citizen move work to other countries because engineers are cheaper. Also maybe look at a cheaper school maybe in a near by state so you two can meet on the weekends.

This is my first year in university of engeenering. Last year I finished high school. That's why I doubt I can find an employer

Well, historically, in-state resident university costs in California are very affordable vs. across the rest of the country. It is the cost of living in California that is expensive!! As for college, you'd have to establish residency for that, and that will take at least a year. When I lived in California as a resident, it was only $11 US dollars per credit unit. That is cheap!! I don't think there is any such thing as "Free Study" other than for your own research and enrichment. But like others have said, your two easiest ways into the US will require marriage as your foundation..

Tells me everything I need to know.

Moving to the US, getting married and studying electrical engineering. Nothing free, and nothing easy, in any of that. Marriage isn't easy. Engineering is surely not easy. Life in the US (if you work and pay taxes) is most definitely not easy. All three are fulfilling in their own way. Fortunately you are young and have some time to figure things out.

Best of luck.

Please tell me too!!! Although unfortunately I believe it is too late for me... being $50k in debt with Student Loans and all. And I was born here.... We may be called "The Land of the Free" but it's actually quite costly (college, healthcare, etc.) Worth it, but land of the free does not come with FREE SCHOOLING as much as that would be kick-a$$ and all. Ha ha haaa

Ugh... that being said, it may be best for you to either apply for a student visa and see what community college you may be eligible to attend. Or, better yet, finish your schooling where you are and try to find a way to immigrate legally later on once you've obtained the skills/degree to become gainfully employed and able to support yourself better. Maybe through a potential employer, etc. It's wonderful that you want to move here so much, but take my advice and do so wisely, ethically, and when you are better prepared.

Just in case it may be relevant it does not have to be just a GF, BF now works as well
