Hey everyone,

I have just graduated from a college in the U.S. with B.S. in Chemistry and moved back home to Canada. I plan on attending graduate school back in the U.S. in which I would attend on a student visa again. If I am not accepted, I still plan on going back to the U.S. to be with my girlfriend and start a life. I am just wondering what the easiest, hassle free way would be to get myself a green-card so I can work, and possibly start a business? I have been told that an engagement visa may be the way to go, but I am unsure if we will get married within the 90 days. Or if I do get into graduate school, do I use a student visa, or go a different direction?

Hope someone can give me some guidance!

Thanks

if you're not really planning on marrying her yet, i wouldn't go for the fiance visa. if you go on your student visa- you can't work- as you already know that. but you can try on applying for jobs in the US and possibly going that direction. Or working a job in Canada that will support you going to graduate school in the US or getting a workers visa for the US... ??
