Ask: My friend wants to send the son with his very young age to come to the beauty study abroad, attend elementary school or junior high school, he thinks the son that sends him first attends private school, think method turns next read public middle school, because the cost of private school is high, my friend is only capable to pay the fee of the first year of private school. So feasible? Is the procedures that applies transfer commonly how do?

Huang Guirong's lawyer answers:

Press immigration laws, if the student studying abroad with small age comes to the beauty with F1 student visa, cannot read public elementary school, can read private elementary school only.

If prepare those who come to the beauty attend public elementary school, the immigration office can approve F1 student visa far from. Middle school respect also has very big restriction, the student studying abroad is only concessional read in public school do not exceed 12 months, and fill the fee that pays the school student of allowance of all concerned government.

This legislative original intention is American government the United States will study abroad before preventing foreign student, be in public school for reading, occupy the funds that takes American government to offer public school free education. Reason this conception of your friend, put the child in private school to turn again first public school, press uptodate immigration laws exemple, it is unworkable.

Elementary school of the ﹑ in crossing this law exemple to be applied to only reachs the small student studying abroad that comes to the beauty with F1 visa, other follows the parent comes to the beauty, have different blame the student studying abroad of immigrant visa identity is not applicable. If think transfer, must have the F-20 that other school gives out first, the staff of international student work of the school can do the procedure of transfer.
