Green Card Questions and Answers: How to apply for children to study in high school in Phoenix; prove the fact of residence in the United States 1. My good friend in China wants to send his daughter, who is a freshman in high school in China, to study in high school in Phoenix next year. He asked me to help find some relevant materials and information. I would like to ask: What are the methods to apply to study in high school in the United States? How to search for Phoenix High School information? Does it have to be a public school? How do I apply for my child to enter the United States after finding a school? What are the specific procedures? How much is the application fee? What is the total cost? How much will the child’s living expenses, tuition fees and other miscellaneous expenses be after he comes to the United States? If I sponsor this child to come to the United States to study, what are my financial and medical insurance responsibilities? Answer: I assume that your good friend’s daughter is neither a permanent resident nor a U.S. citizen, and must apply for a student visa (F-1) to come to the U.S. to attend school. In this case, the child can apply to study in a private or public school in the United States, whether it is private or public, as long as the school has the authority to issue an admission permit (I-20). You can search for high schools through the phone book, a list of schools in the area, or on the Internet. The school will issue an admission permit after reviewing the applicant's qualifications. Obtaining admission means that you have paid at least the SEVIS fee. In addition, there is an application fee to apply for a student visa at the U.S. Consulate. The child's living expenses, tuition fees and other miscellaneous expenses can be calculated from the enrollment permit. If you are the student's financial sponsor, you will complete a Support Form (I-134) and submit the relevant documentation. This financial guarantee form is non-binding, but I trust you will support the student in accordance with what is stated on the form. Obtaining a visa as a high school student is only allowed for students holding a student visa to study in public schools for one year. A condition of enrollment in a public high school as a student is that the school district must recoup the full cost of tuition from such students. If you study as a student in a public high school for more than one year, your friend's daughter will be banned from re-entering the country for five years. 2. I hold a green card and have stayed in Taiwan most of the time due to family reasons. Now my son’s green card has arrived, but when I was interviewed by the American Institute in Taiwan for immigration, the consulate staff made things very difficult for me because of the fact that I did not reside in the United States (Domicile). How can I prove to the American Institute in Taiwan that I am staying in the United States? Answer: Green card holders need to stay abroad most of the time due to personal reasons. In addition to reporting regularly to the United States, they must prove that the person concerned has the intention to live in the United States. Another difficulty is that when the U.S. consulate reviews a green card holder’s application for relative immigration, it requires the green card holder to prove the fact that he or she is residing in the United States. Generally, when the U.S. Consulate reviews whether a green card holder has the facts of living in the United States, it usually requires the person to have the following evidence: having a bank account in the United States; transferring funds to the United States; investing in the United States; seeking job opportunities in the United States; enrolling in courses in American schools; sending children to study in the United States; quitting working abroad; and disposing of funds abroad. Of course, the more evidence you have, the better.
