I'm 18 years old girl but still I don't have any degree but the high school degree.. so what should I have to get the f1 visa.. and is it hard to get?

In my case as an 18 years old... what is the easiest visa I can get and gives me a chance to live , study and work in USA?

How many years do I need to live in USA to get the passport and the green card... and is it easy to get them or they need a long time? And if I only have the high school degree.. what is my chances to go and live in USA?

If I have my family live in USA does it make it easy for me to get the passport and the green card but without involving them in the whole thing?

F-1 visas are normally issued to foreign students... if you are accepted by the school, plus you are able to provide evidence of financial support during the term of study (tuition fee, airfare, room and board, insurance, etc), then you should be able to obtain visa.

Either one of your parents is US citizen... or
You're married to US citizen.. or
You work for US company and your employer is willing to sponsor visa for you.. or
You have special talents/skills such as getting gold medals at the Olympic games or you just received a nobel prize, etc.. . or
You're selected in Green card Lotto program... or
Your minimum investment in US is $1 million...

What do you mean by getting them involved?

You don't want Immigration to know you have family here? You are attempting to get a green card without a sponsor?

You have 4 open threads about immigration - I have asked that they be combined for ease in answering and so that "we" have the full picture of what you are asking and/or attempting to accomplish.

[lawanwadee]

The answer is NO... the term "family" means father or mother... no cousin, aunt or uncle.

All immigrant visas require sponsor...

[asma rashid kou]

OK... should that sponsor be living in the country that I'm living in.. or.. in the country that I'm going to emigrate to?

Sponsor must be US citizen and live in US...

[asma rashid kou]

Is there is any way to get any visa if I don't have a sponsor?

[lawanwadee]

You can sponsor yourself... for investor visa, you must invest $ 1 million in US.

If you are seeking job opportunity, I would suggest look somewhere else... actual unemployment rate is approx 18-20%.

[asma rashid kou]

OK... should the sponsor be one of my family member.. or.. any US citizen?

[lawanwadee]

Sponsor must be your family member and also a USc...

How much time do I need to get the non-immigration visa.. ( years.. months)?

[lawanwadee]

Depends on what category and the country you come from.. I would say approx 5-25 years.
