Which college application am i supposed to apply for?

Question

well i dont live in america, and i plan on going there for college but the problem is, my country provides only 2 types of visas... the first one is the tourist visa, which is only valid for 3 months.. and the other one is the perminant imigrant visa..

the permanent immigrant visa can only be given to you if you have a spouse/fiancee in america, OR if you have an employer (OR a college/university accepted you)...and a bunch of other ones too..

but when i apply for college, which application do i apply for, the US one...or the international one?

cuz if i apply for the international one and then get my visa, wont it be considered that im not international anymore?

PS: i cant apply for the visa before i apply for college cuz the embassy needs proof that ive been addmitted into the college first.

Answer 1

You are doing it backwards. 1st apply to the college, if you get accepted, the college will help you getting the correct VISA. If you are not accepted, it's a moot point.
