Do you know what "college no degree" is for?

those who went to and completed classes with a passing grade but didn't complete the requirements for a degree to be awarded.
in your case, you didn't even go to class, so high school diploma would be the answer.

My thoughts, too.

can i be a burden and ask one more question please just to make sure of my situation..., what if my high school diploma has a college seal on the back and I still have the subscription papers that was giving to me when i registered, these are proves that i was registered in college, i actually attended some courses in the first month but i have no prove of attendance and i didn't take any exams, should i still go with "high school diploma" in not "college no degree"? And should i not list this college? even though there is a college seal on the back of HSD? and I've got subscription papers? Thanks.

EDIT: and what about I chose "high school diploma" and still list this college and the period i was registered there? i just want to avoid any fraudulent suspicions!

You are overthinking this.  You graduated from High School, and you have no college transcript to prove that you attended there.  I see no reason to worry.  Go with "High School Diploma".

yes i know now that i should go with HSD, But what about the section where you list the schools you have attended, they ask you to Provide information on all educational institutions at a secondary level or above you have attended, And I just wanted to make sure if i should mention the college and the period i was registered there, even though i wasn't attending but i have prove of registering (college seal on the back of diploma), I guess i will list this college because when in doubt it is better to give more information than little, thanks for your time guys.

So if they ask you to list all the schools you attended, why is this college relevant? As you say, you didn't attend it! 

 

I agree with the above, just put HSD.

well they didn't say to mention only schools where you got degrees/diplomas from, if the officer asks you what did you do after high school and you didn't mention registering to a college, someone might argue you are hiding information which is fraud right? i asked ChatGPT and it advised me to mention the college, trust me If i could be sure to not mention it that would be easier for me but i can't risk it :(

You specifically said it asked you to list schools you've *attended*. Hence my response. 

 

But your call, I don't think it matters either way. But whatever you do, don't use Chat GPT for immigration info, it's utterly useless!
