My fiancé is Nigerian and would like to take classes here.  We cannot get the K-1 visa, because my divorce is not final.  It looks like the only avenue for him to come here would be by applying for college.  Do I apply for the visa or does he?

He would have to apply to the univeristy or colleges and do most of the dealing himself.    But this sounds like more of you trying to bypass the visa process because of your divorce.

Part of education visas is showing that they have intent to go home and use their expertise.  He'd be hard pressed with an American fiancé.

He would have to qualify for, and apply for a student visa on his own merits. With a USC fiancé, and being from a high-fraud country, that will be very challenging. Also, be aware that he is not allow

If it isn't difficult, it isn't worth it.

But with having the idea or want to do a K-1 already shows other intents. So you shouldn't try to get another visa in the others ones place.

He does want to go to school, so thought that we could get him here a little sooner.

I guess I should have not worded the original message that we cannot get the K-1, but that we would not be eligible for that particular visa.  We hadn't applied for it.  Also, with the education visa and me being a fiancée, would it make a difference that I am buying a house in Nigeria?  Especially as far as him showing that he plans to return there.

obviously not cheap but if he has the money and can show a logical case go for it.

the form for applying for the student visa asks if you have any family members (including spouse and fiancé) in the US, just FYI

I could write a book on the misinformation posted on that site, not sure why it comes up removed, maybe one reason.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
