Source of info as to the “thousands”?

I do not have a valid source unfortunately, but based my statement on anecdotal data. 
 

A good friend works in higher education admissions. She used to work at a well known community college in Massachusetts  and that school alone had anywhere from 50-75 international students every year.

 

when I was in college in Boston many years ago, many of the international students of the local community college used our library. 
 

I admit I don’t have a source so I shouldn’t have thrown out an arbitrary number, but if one community  college in one town in an average size state has that amount, think one  can safely deduce that there r many more and close to thousands student visas granted for similar purposes in similar settings.

 

many students for financial reasons go to community college first before transferring to four year schools, from the perspective of the embassy- as long as they have a plan and the finances to cover this plan, they don’t seem to care either way.

Judging from what you have said in this thread, they may assume immigrant intent.

I doubt they’ll grant her a visa to go to a community college. And why Oregon and not any other State?

why would you doubt that? The cc advertises that they have a thriving international student program. As for why she would want to study at that particular institution of higher learning, other than her bf owns a house 2 miles from it, good question.

Because usually community colleges are quite small. 
And my question wasn’t why a particular institution of higher learning. My question was why if all States she wanted to go to that particular State. I suspected she wanted to live with you -I was right

the jury's still out on whether or not she'd want to live with me, haha.

No, the jury is still out on whether when she fills out the DS-160 shes going to be honest about her living situation (which she is strongly advised to be). The jury will be even more out when they realize that in reality she's just trying to jump the line to come to the US to live with you. 

If I have seen this situation many a times just by being in VJ, the DOS and the Embassy have seen this movie 10x more times. 

 

Sorry, she's not going to get a student visa.

OK dude. That makes my decision making process quite a bit simpler. Nice to talk to someone so well connected to the immigration process as you. One question, though, how do they find out about me? Are you going to tell one of your connections? If I'm doing something wrong, you probably should tattle on me. Those rules exist for a reason. Keep kicking ###!

 

I'd also like to make it absolutely clear that you are smarter than me, and superior in every possible way. I suspect proving that is among your goals.

It was my assumption that this was the plan from your very first post, I have seen it so many times it is not funny. Can you imagine how often somebody who does this all day sees this situation?

Mmmmm because she'll have an interview where they'll ask her if she has any connections/ relatives in the US?

 

Because, at one point, she's going to have to provide her address in the I-20 (did you even look at what that document is?) and the college will have to report that address into SEVIS, thus making it easily accessible to the Department of State?

Because at some point she will maybe want to have a US DL, for which she'll have to provide an address?

 

It's not about me having connections; it's more about me already having a student visa and knowing what the requirements and regulations are..

Visa fraud is not condoned on Visa Journey.  Seems you are visa shopping.  You already knew the legal K-1 process is long.

Your GF should be 100% open and honest about her intentions when coming to the US.

Is she going to this particular Community College only because she wants to explore her relationship with you without going through the expensive and time consuming K1/ CR1 process or does she want to go to this CC because it ticks all the boxes she wants ticked when going to College? 
If your gf is not honest and later applies for an immigrant visa she might be hit with misrep when USCIS discovers her motivation for moving to the US was going to live near/with you and not to study. 
Friendly advice, if she does obtain a student visa make sure she goes to school and doesn’t drop out immediately because reasons… 

A poster not too long ago was interested in studying close to his gf because he wanted to get to know her better and it went awry…
