adjustment status from B1

[G_One 10]

Hi,

An F1 requires the applicant to show a home that she will return to after completing her studies.

Also, it's not cheap. Tuition will run around $20,000/year.

This is not really a path for most because of these two factors.

Yes the Intentions for the applicant should be to return after the education. For someone who's family is in the US and their ultimate home and job will be in the US, it only makes sense to do college in US to be relevant.

And the fees can be paid if the applicant gets the visa and the fees can be paid by the parents and the daughter by doing some part time jobs.. should not be a show stopper.. its better than staying apart for 2 years without parents and waiting for F2A PD to be current.

There is no "should return." The law requires the applicant to show a foreign home to return to.

Fees have to be in the bank. There is no let a student in and then family figure it out. Money upfront first before the visa can be issued.

How will the daughter legally work?

What are you basing your advice on?

Students have to maintain their ties with the country, there is no discounting that.. Why are you assuming things... and why are you looking at people from that illegal glass.. no one pays the full years fees upfront... people pay for 1st semester and before the 2nd sem pay for 2nd sem before it starts.. Part time jobs are allowed for students nothing new in that, you can google that... correct me with your source if I am wrong, I am happy to learn more :-)

No where did I say or imply anything about being illegal. Don't accuse me of looking at things through the "illegal glass." Don't accuse me of assuming things when you are posting things without backing them up.

If you want correct info, then I suggest you DIY. I will not do the work for you.

Where are you getting your "facts" from? Why don't you provide support for what you are posting?

I have nieces and nephews studying here in the US. I've been through the process multiple times. Have you? Do you know what financial resources an applicant must show to get the I-20?

If you think it's simple for a person with an pending immigration case to get a student visa and have the immigrant parents and the student work as a plan to pay the fees, then show me anyone who has done this. I bet you can't.

P.S. I worked at the international student program at SDSU.

You are extremely restricted as to what work you can do.

We do not have sufficient funds to cover the course of study, but we would like an I-20 and meet the financial requirement with future work from the parents and the intending student will work to help support herself.

Sure, student visa is no problem.

Have you ever tried?

I must have my illegal glass on and assume that future earnings from the family and student would count for the I-20. Oh no, just experience.
