If she is really just interested in saving money, make sure you look at the rules for your state schools. They have their own, and many states are really strict. Most have some kind of rule like living in a place for at least 2-5 years BEFORE starting to apply for schools. Just becoming a resident of the state doesn't guarantee in-state tuition.

This is not going to be helpful in this girl's situation it got me thinking if this is still possible and "untrackable" as I think it's actually pretty creative and most people probably don't think to try it.

I knew this woman who immigrated here but that would have been decades ago. She was from China as was her husband, but she was here in the US under like a limited visa (work or student or something, I don't remember) and her husband was a legal resident (was originally from China also). Anyway, her visa was expiring, couldn't be renewed, and though she had applied for citizenship it was still in the process of being complete. Meaning she was going to be forced to leave her husband until she could get it completed. (I don't remember all the details of why, just bear with me on this).

So, she carefully wrote a long letter begging for help to various embassies in other countries. She stated the work she was doing in the US, about her husband, how important it was for her to live here, etc. And sent them out. To understand, each country has a limit to the amount of people who can immigrate to the US every year, which is why certain countries take longer than others because they are on a waiting list. Of course, most countries said they couldn't help her, and she was starting to give up hope, but then the Bahamas contacted her. I mean think about it, if you live in the Bahamas...why would you leave the Bahamas...? Apparently, their limit is low, but they like never reach the cap (or at least when this was happening years ago). They were like, "Sure we'll list you as a resident, just live here for like two weeks and come to the embassy and we'll work everything out." So she got a two-week vacation to the Bahamas and they helped her to immigrate from there to the US lmao.


It makes me wonder though if nowadays that shit would get reported and she would have gotten deported just for trying or something. :/ Still a really smart idea though.

Well then i'm confused, my cousin in law stayed here in florida with her student visa, shit expired, got married to my cousin, got a green card after seeing consulate in like a month time frame from interview. If all she's interested is staying here i'm sure she can nab a green card pretty easy long as she's not finding some terrible guy. It's actually a business for most of the chinese people here to offer to take in people in china and "marry" them for 3 years and get paid 60,000 for it so people can get citizen ship.

They are meant to be confusing.
