Bro, why not start by searching with schools that offer your prefered course, check there requirement, use top tier school requirement to prep for your GRE exam, so even if you don't meet up u ll fall into another reasonable level. SEND MAILS to graduate coordinator of each schools. Just draft a mail and edit before sending to each school. By the time u search one or two schools you will see that this is interesting to do. I even know US map pass Naija own after thorough searching with different criteria.

Hello guy's,

Please i need help here, I am in US on f1 visa and i will like my fiance to come over, he is my sponsor.
Which way will be easy for him to get visa? applying for visiting or what?.

I need help and any other suggestions.


Thank you

What does 'come over' mean? Come to settle? Come for visit? How long? That would determine what he needs to do/get..

So B1 would allow him to work? F-2 is OK as well. He can visit her and stay, atleast the ease of getting a drivers licence and switching to F-1.

You're basically arguing for the sole purpose of being disagreeable. It makes no sense to apply as an F2. He is on record as the sponsor for his fiancée. If you were the VO, would you grant him an f2 visa? F2 visa means he is coming to the US to stay as a DEPENDENT for a fairly long period of time, meaning he will not be holding any meaningful employment in Nigeria or the US. How do you expect him to demonstrate enough funds to maintain himself? Can you be a sponsor and dependent on the person you claim to be sponsoring at the same time?

It is needful that you guys think critically before you make decisions. The Nigerian attitude of just saying anything just so you can feel you are also right is boring.

Don't start with this crass ignorance and don't be that silly not to remember that you are also a Nigerian. F-2 is an option and B1 is an option too. Who told you that if they get married he can't get an F-2 visa because he is her sponsor?

All the gra gra wey you dey do end for nairaland grin

It would be better then for him to get an F-1 visa and just go to go school if he has the funds to support both of you.

Working is out of the question apart from few 20-hr unguaranteed on-campus jobs around on F-1.
He won't be able to work or study long term on a visit visa or F-2 visa.

Think really hard here. If he is your sponsor, who will he claim as sponsor for himself when it's time for him to come over? What would he claim as ties? It is doable, but you both need to think long and hard. The last thing you want is for him to be denied a visa.

Those two things are impossible for now. His only 2 choices are to immigrate by marriage or be sponsored by an employer. Here is problem... you just indicated that your sole purpose for getting an F1 visa is to immigrate, even though the visa is not a dual purpose visa. Now you've just stated your boyfriend wants to do same... on a thread that is constantly being read by actual US VOs! grin You folks are hilarious.

They obviously did thesame thing you did. You left Nigeria with an F-1. So stop acting like a kid here. People come here with F-1 then after studies look for job that would sponsor H-1B.

Immigrating is LEGAL. Stating so openly on a forum where VOs can read and potentially identify you is boneheadedness (especially when you are still on a non-dual purpose visa)... that was my entire point. but of course, your misguided zeal to say something is blinding you. By the way... civilized folks do not use the term "nigga". It may be a term "bad boys" in Nigeria use but its basically a low class term around here.

You don't seem to be able to read and comprehend.... you simply retort. Again we've gone down a tangent because obviously your goal here isn't to contribute as much as its to antagonize me. I'm flattered little bro...

So of course, i'm expecting your next little rant like clockwork... in 3, 2, 1...

Oh now it is LEGAL little man? Double standard. This is a faceless forum and the only information required here to register on Nairaland is just your email address. There are more than a thousand applicants who visit the embassy on a daily basis ( Lagos and Abuja), how would a VO spot one person? Mind you there several visa officers and not all are on Nairaland. Even as weak as googles PII privacy policy, it still to a large extent protects users identity.

Best to remove that picture....its really not needed

Schooling in the US is very expensive so really you do it mainly for growth and progression. You can have a second degree without starting again by going to CC.

If he actually knows the meaning of second degree. Calling a CC diploma (associate degree) a second degree after HND or BS is absurd.

He should go get H1B visa. If not, all he would get right now is non immigrant visa which excludes everything you mentioned in bold.

Your point?

My point is that if she decide to marry the fiance/sponsor then he can apply apply for f2 visa as a spouse not as dependent as you stated.

It stated that f2 "may not" be able to work .....in my understand of "may not " means there are circumstances in which is permissible.

I think the best a f2 can do is to enrol in a vocational course or take a license exam then he may be lucky to get an offer that comes with H1b

Just my opinion

You are one of the reasons he is being tactless in his responses and the recondite is that he is probably giggling and whining while typing his whatever opinions. The point is that the more you take him serious, the more relevant he feels which ends up invigorating his egregious character. In conclusion, If everyone could just learn to overlook or snub his response for straight one or two weeks regardless and focus on absorbing the vital information from the forum, believe me the twoods saga would fade off because he is not above "taming"
