Hairdressing school!

Hello All! First of all I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped me with my last topic!!

Ok so here is my next question:

So my girlfriend currently lives in Canada and she wants to move here and eventually get married. I know the details of the K1 and Cr1. But she wants to go to school to be a hair stylist. If she went to school in Canada, would she be able to get licensed in the states after she got her permanent residency?

Or would it be easier for her to apply for a student visa and go to school over here? We would then get married while she is over here and file for AOS.

Sounds like using a non-immigrant visa for immigrant intent. If she is already completed hairdressing school in Canada - why would she need to attend that same school in the US? Let's not violate any TOS or visas ok?

A quick google search indicates that professional licensing for hairdressers varies by state. Have you researched the requirements for your state?

good luck

I don't know if the schooling in Canada would be accepted for licensing in the US, but I can't imagine there would be much of a difference between the two. If she wants to apply to school here in the states and is accepted, that's fine too.

My friend (USC) just married a girl from Scotland and she was in the states on a J1 work visa. They got married before it expired and filed for AOS. But they were dating before she had the visa. How is this not fraud?

My girlfriend also wants to move here from Canada but she wants a good job. If she came here on a work visa and we got married, would we be in trouble? Obviously we are intending to be married but she is intending on trying to have. Successful job as well

It is all about intent. Clearly in your case, you are planning on having your girlfriend come to the US on a non-immigrant visa and adjust her status. That is the fraud part - you even suggest it would be 'easier'

Secondly, many work visas are dual intent - meaning there is a clear assumption one will adjust status to a PR. Non-immigrant visas do not assume such intent.

good luck

All work visa's are non immigrant.

J1 is not dual intent.

Remember many of these things are more an issue on VJ than in the real world. If in doubt consult a lawyer.

Aren't H1Bs dual intent? Would that not be a work visa with dual intent?

Can you clarify?

H1b is a non immigrant visa with simplistically dual intent.

I know lawyers do not like that dual intent phrase as it is an over simplification but it will do for us.
