Moved to Adjustment of Status from K1 as this process follows the K1  process as per OP 

 

 

@RickFlair

others will chime in I am sure .. but I imagine you would need to have LPR status to attend without a student visa .. maybe the EAD ( employment authorization) might be enough but Im not sure

After the K-1 fiance visa is completed.  And after the marriage is completed in the USA.  What, if anything, must be done in order to be able to attend a USA college?

 

Thank you,

Apply.  
 

The college might or might not accept a K-1 visa or I-485 receipt. It might or might not charge in state tuition.

Apply and be accepted.

 

State colleges may have further requirements for getting in-state tuition and even private colleges may have requirements for not getting hit with international student tuition, but you aren't prohibited from going to college during the 90 days a K-1 is valid for or the "authorized stay" period while you're waiting for AOS (and after that you can prove you're a legal permanent resident).

In addition, community colleges might offer more flexibility in terms of in-state versus out-of-state tuition.  They're typically less expensive than 4-year universities are, and courses generally transfer to 4-year universities.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Agreed. States are motivated to attract students to the CCs as this reduces pressure on the limited supply of seats at the state universities. And some, if  not most states, will guarantee a seat in a state university for any graduate (Associates degree) of its CCs.
