Hi guys, I am in a similar situation. I would to arrive before, say 8 weeks before first day of class. Moreover, I wanted to takepart in a language course, but of course, it wont be possible with a tourist visa.
Just a question, my country has a visa waiver program, so I do not require "formally" the Visa to enter in the US. But say,for example, I will get my F1 Visa at the end of June (where is stated, of course, that I am allowed to enter the US at the beginning of August only). Then, in July, I travel to the US with my "Visa waiver program", so a theoretical tourist Visa. Then, since I am in NY, in August I will travel to Canada and reenter showing my F1 Visa.
Well, I know it is alittle complicated, but do you think I can do it? I mean, anyone know if it is legal? :roll:
Thanks !!!!
