Thanks, Maria.

I will need to check this with the authorities, for sure, about the funding. But as far as I know Laanekassen will be able to help with that. Thanks for sharing that so that I will remember to check it out. Best..

Thanks again for reply.

Yes, of course, no big hurry to take this course.

The K1 was done in order to live together and be together, marry, but things changed unexpectedly which it can in life. Very big change for all involved, including families, not under our control. All I guess have ther reasons for not getting married after all... and after all that work and money, it was not an easy decision to take. Unfortunately it seemed to play negative on a B2 visa since it got denied despite not overstaying.

The WVP issue was just due to a Canadian office at the time as I was leaving out of Canada, not to get back to the USA.Bu to visit and not overstay in the USA , due to the issue at the border I did get one day over, but it was in 2008 and a long time ago and just one day.

And nothing wrong in wishing to take this course in the US while spending lots of money ( it's cheaper many places..)

People who choose to study anywhere do that for the school and maybe to have different experience in life

Thanks for the information. I am very unknown with student visas at all.

Hello everyone.

I have a few notes to add here>

Back ground:

- Norwegian citizen 37 y.

- only been to USA 3 times

- Second time 90 days and wanted to cross to Canada and got denied to Canada which made one day overstay in USA, had to leave out from there instead

- No criminal back ground anywhere

- Jan 09 denied in the airport due to telling I was going to visit the "love of my heart" ( and that one day)

- We were told we had to apply for a K1 for me to get back and we did under the plan to marry. but things went wrong and changed and we couldn't marry in 90 days... he was not doing well, and it was not a healthy situation for my son and me...to be in... I left day 90 very disappointed...

- I am in Canada on working holiday now and applied for a B2 from Vancouver which got denied they said I should try in Norway when back there . I paid lawyers for this job of that visa and they didn't tell me it would be better to apply in Oslo, if they had, I would have done that. The lawyers said it didn't matter whether I applied in Norway or Canada, they were wrong.

my intention was a 2 week vist in June to the States while working in Canada, So I am not going to try that way again and not paying lawyers again ( 2000, plus translations , plus embassy fees)

- I want to take a course that will help my skills for a job with animal protection working as an active person and in the office I found a course that can fit.

Now what kind of student visa would be required. I will not apply now, I will wait year or 2, My Canadian work visa expires in a few months and I will also not apply rom Canada.

What kind of documents are needed for the student visa? It's just a short course. Over 2 years.

My dad has good funds and I would also be able to get a student loan. My son would need a year in

school there.

The fact of not marrying on K1 seem to affect me negatively, though that is the way life can be. Sometimes such changes are not under our control.That's why I left on time and didn't overstay.

Thanks, everyone for sharing your experiences.

Best,

Angel
