Re: what are my chances of getting a student visa and go to highschool in america?
so I've lived in america for 13 years (illegally) & i'm 16 right now. i left the U.S a year ago with my (she was illegal) mom and american little sister. my mom wants me to move to america with my uncle (which is her brother american citizen & he has 3 american children) to Florida because i'm doing online courses from Philadelphia all the way in Argentina(where i am right now) and she doesn't want me to be home schooled she wants me to live in america and go to school since i'm planning to live there in the future. i don't go to school here in Argentina because i don't know Spanish that much and i don't really get along with the people. EVERYONES ANSWERS WERE VERY HONEST AND EVEN THOUGH IT UPSETS ME I HAVE TO FACE REALITY BUT IM GOING TO ADD SOME MORE INFORMATION MY DAD LIVES ILLEGALLY IN THE UNITED STATES TOO, BUT I HAVEN'T TALKED TO HIM IN 4 YEARS I'M NOT SURE WHERE HE LIVES BUT MY MOM SAYS HE LIVES IN NEW YORK BUT IM GOING TO FLORIDA. ARE MY CHANCES EVEN SLIMMER BECAUSE OF THAT? THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE

It's going to be very hard. And expensive. http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1269.html

I would say it definitely makes you chances even much more slim.No US embassy will also approve a Student visa if you want to go to High school here. The only good news is that you should be able to gain a US visa at anytime provided you can showcase strong ties to your home country but provided you have lived here for that amount of time in the US before no consular officer would want to take the risk. You're also not going anywhere without a US visa which in likelihood is not within your reach until you have good grades from where you are currently located & you can afford a tertiary institution in the US while showcasing strong evidence that you will return when your studies are finished.

Getting a student Visa is hard and a final part to get admission in school. You have to go through the Student Visa interview process. They will asked you absolutely about your capability to complete your studies in the U.S. and your financial resources or your parents financial resources to cover the cost of your education in the U.S. It is very important: don't ever dare to Lie for the questions asked just to get a Visa because if you do and they will catch you, your chances of getting a student Visa is not possible.

To go to high school in the USA on a student visa you have to pay the cost of providing the education. About $10,000 per year. As well, the people sponsoring you and providing you a place to live must be legal US residents or US citizens. High school is only free to people already living in the USA.
