Question

my serious girlfriend wants to come to the USA for college and she is from PERU, but she said some about papers for immigration but they only let her stay 6months to a year...is this truee???

i mean they cant make her come right back to PERU if she is trying to go for college all four years...what should we do?????any kind of help or information can be hlpful for us thankssssss

Answer 1

She has to file for an F1 visa and be able to prove that she can pay for all expenses relating to her schooling and living.

Answer 2

If she is getting a visitors visa then yes she can only stay 6 months. If she is obtaining a F1 student visa she can stay until she completes school.

Both visa types are non-immigrant visas so if you have marriage plans in the near future they are the wrong visa since she is required to go home after the completion of her studies.

Planning to get married? Then you need a K1 fiance visa instead Will prevent years of headaches
