Can they go to school?
The kids are in 6th and 4th grade.
Answer:
They do NOT need any kind of visa to go into school.
To tell you the truth I am not familiar with the B-Visa. But what I do know is by law the kids have to be in school if they are younger than 16 no matter what legal status they have, so that pretty much gets rid of the use of a visa. What they do need is a record from their last school, proof of address and immunization record from that state. I guess if they wanted to go to a college it would be tougher because you have to prove you are a citizen in "most colleges" and since college is so expensive and they can't apply to FAFSA or any kind of loan because they have to be residents or a citizen.
I think they might be able to if they pay tuition, however, one of the biggest reasons we limit the number of immigrant visas is because of our overcrowded schools, and I am not familiar with that category of visa. Go to uscis.gov.
Elementary school costs about $10,000 per year per child to taxpayers. Those not here on immigrant visas who are ALLOWED to go to school are supposed to pay tuition. It is not about college.
1. They would need Student Visas to enroll in school.
2. They would need to pay the full cost for their education which, even in public schools, is about $10,000 per year, each.
3. They can't stay 8 months on a B visa, 6 months is the maximum.
*It doesn't matter what grades they are in. If they are here and want to go to school they need student visas and they need to pay the full cost of the education. This includes public schools.
Trust me, they can stay.
My friend is puerto rican, came here about 2 years ago, along with his 8 siblings.He's 15 in the 7th grade, nearly 16, and STILL going to the 8th grade.Yes,they'll be able to stay.
