To study in the United States, you will first need to apply to, and be accepted for admission by a school which can issue an I-20. The I-20 is then used to apply for a student visa.

I am currently living in China and married to Chinese spouse. He has applied and been accepted to a graduate program in the US starting fall 2014. Ideally, we would like to stay in the US after he finishes his studies, but current circumstances look like it will be more likely that we return to China after he graduates. Originally, we planned to have him just apply for a student visa but after doing some research, it seems like us already being married might hurt his chances of being granted the student visa since it may be difficult to prove his intent to return to China. What we could provide to support his intent to return to China are his name on apartment deed and letter from employer stating that his job will be held. It's also difficult to find a job in the US with the program he is entering. The other thing is that his mom has recently passed away and he is an only child (Dad is still living) . Based on this information, does anyone have any thoughts on how difficult it may be for him to get the student visa? Recently I've been researching DCF and am questioning if it might be the "safer" way to go. My biggest concern right now is being able to provide the tax return info of our would be co-sponsor. 1. Am I right in that the first time tax return will be asked for is at the interview date? Our co-sponsor normally files their taxes in October. 2. If interview (or whenever the forms are needed) is after april 15, is it certain that the current year's tax return will be needed? I think this might be the most difficult document for me to get. Thanks in advance for any comments or advice!

My wife has her green card. Daughter had a K2 but due to our attorney screwing up big time that path is closed for her to come here. We were forced to go ahead and file the I-130. Both are Chinese nationals. She was 20 at the time. Now she's older. But here's the question. I've been trying about everything to see if there's a way so that her daughter can come over here to study. She's now in London studying but has always wanted to come here to study. Can we recind the I-130 and file for the F1? Or will she always be tagged now that she 'wants to immigrate' and would not be allowed the F1. Basically what happened was our attorney told us that she could visit with the K2, go back to London, when the biometrics and interview were needed, she could come back. Of course that wasn't true. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Rosie and Marc
