Hi, my 17-yr old niece just graduated from a high school in China. She wants to study in the USA for her college education. I am a USA citizen and is willing to provide her the financial support. However, she was told that the fact that she has relatives in the USA would hurt her chance of getting an F-1 visa because the visa officer will think that she has immigration tendency. I think that is ridiculous. How can a 17-yr old girl immigrate? She can't immigrate as a direct relative to a US citizen, she has no skill to be employed, she can't marry... She just wants to get education here. It should be a positive thing that she has a relative here to guide her and support her. Does anyone have feedback on this issue? Is having a relative in USA actually a minus for getting a foreign student visa? Thanks for your inputs!!!

Dear Hanasaunt,

It really deonds on how the immigration officer chooses to look at the situation. He could look at it as a great support system for the student or he could look at it as a way for the student to get into the US without the intention of coming home. The student needs to be very confident in her educational plans and show that she will retunr to her home country when she is done. If she mentions wanting to work or in any way stay in the US this will cause an almost certain denial.

I wish her the best of luck!

Jim

If you really want to attend an American University the best place to prepare is The University
Of English. Their University Prep Plus program helped get me into Harvard University with
Almost a full financial Aid package. All staff members at the University are graduates of Ivy League schools. Even if you do not have perfect grades you should apply. The Staff at the University of English will highlight your strengths in such a way that they will outweigh your weaknesses. The rules of the Ivy League schools have changed and now
International students have more options of attending these schools with financial aid. Schools
Like Harvard and Penn offer full financial aid to international students. The Program at The University Of English is highly regarded and comes with a money back guarantee. If your really serious about Changing your future you should start with them. They helped me.

yeap
I think as long as she doesn't hint any intent to stay in America, She will be fine and they will be happy to have her in.
The interview stage will be the crucial part for her I guess. How fortunate that she has an Aunt who is willing to sponsor her.

I would love to improve my English skills and to graduate abroad. Also, I am interested in getting my masters degree abroad. Can anyone help providing info? Thank you in advance.

I just want to suggest that any young foreign student who would like to begin their studies in the USA should look into community colleges in the state where they want to study. They are a lot cheaper than University ESL programs, especially ones run by "ELS Language Centers"...not to be confused with "ESL". Most community colleges have ESL classes, but not ESL programs. However, a new student can take ESL classes at the community college, and also take other classes leading to a two year associates degreee! In many cases it is cheaper and better than signing up for an English Second Language program at a four year university.
