hunter Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I wondered, it seems i hear a lot about foreigners coming to the usa and getting money for businesses, school etc. As my wife, when she comes to usa, will she qualify for anything like that? Sure would be handy really. thanks. Link to comment
castaway109 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 She can have benefits for education, business...things like that. She cannot get any kind of "welfare" type benefits for 5 years. Link to comment
jtaylo69 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Ok, that is almost a given, right? But how would our SOs apply or obtain such assistance in lets say, any of the following, if Any: She wants to start her own Business - Say Hair Dressing or a Clothing Store She wants to Buy a House - Should she feel our house is in adequet or what ever She wants to Buy a Car She wishes to go to College - say to get a lisence for hair dressing, message, or what ever. Any input of knowledge on that? Link to comment
castaway109 Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 If your wife is a legal permanent resident she can apply for home loans via the government or banks, she can apply for small business loans, student grants and loans, etc. Any "Non-Welfare" benefits. If she comes on a Fiancee visa or a k3 non-immigrant visa then you are out of luck. She can't get anything as she is considered a foreigner on vacation so to speak. She would have to get an AOS before she can do much of anything. Link to comment
