i will say thank you to both but you guys are very judgmental and have assumptions. I don't believe(i am serious) you're coming from bad place but not sure if it makes any sense because everybody comes to this forum to seek help and this is NOT helpful. we are immigratnts that can't have tons of money to ask lawyers so we are (like many many other people) finding information on public forums. not ALL of us are fraud.
mike - i know you have this assumption because other people has done it, don't get me wrong, im not trying to be mean but she is not using it as tourist visa, SHE WILL go to school that she PAYS and she will return when school is done. Is it forbidden to do anything otuside of school like tourist do on student visa? is she required to NOT see anybody else and stay home during her stay so she is not using f1 as tourist visa? are f1 students not allowed to HAVE ANY REASON other than study like being with their loved ones? of course it is a BIG reason for her to come to usa for school because WE WILL BE TOGETHER while she is in school, of course the fact that i live in the us is a reason for her to study here. we never denied that but why is this a deadly sin?? or a illegal thing?
crazycat - I guess when she got the visa, visa officer disagreed with you and guess what officer was right because SHE RETURNED HOME. now it is not different. my girlfriend has a family and life to return home and she will return. i don't know how you are so SURE about our true intentions. like you are in our head. no she won't change her mind magically as soon as she picks up her luggage. I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE have done it and you are right and you might have that assumption at the beginning but automatically assume everybody is the same is also WRONG. You are constantly assuming we are lying.
anyways, i really don't think you guys have bad intentions. i know that ALL "LIARS" or "FRAUD" people say similar things so you put everybody(for example; us) in same basket(i can understand it to some degree), but in some cases like this, it is not helpful.
