Going to School in USA

[Vinny]

Hi All,

 

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but my Wife wanted to know is there any VISA's etc.. where we can bring a child (Family Member) over to the USA from China for school?. The child is about 6 years old. It's my Wife's brother's son.

 

Thanks,

Vinny

Probably NOT what you want to hear, but . . .

Student visas are mainly used at the university level, but the primary requirement is to be accepted to a SEVP-certified school (secondary or university) which will issue an I-20 certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status.

The first step to take is to locate a school, and be accepted for enrollment.

Looks like these links are broken, but redirect to search pages which may be helpful

ICE - Becoming a Nonimmigrant Student in the United States (Note: some links here are broken - hopefully, new links will be available soon - 6/1/2012)
A full listing of the schools certified by SEVP to accept nonimmigrant students, is at http://www.ice.gov/d...vedSchools.pdf. You can also find a school by geographic location using http://www.ice.gov/s...schoolsmap.htm.

This seems to be a good place to start (Dept. of State website) -
