please any input or suggestion would help. girlfriend from different country?
i have a girlfriend from colombia with me now in san diego. she's currently an international student for english with limited time. she has 2 years left in university in colombia for social communications, can something like that transfer to a US university? or find a job relating to that degree? we're very serious about eachother, and don't want to just say goodbye. I'm trying to explore any options out there that will allow us to be together somehow. I don't think me going to colombia is an option because i barely speak spanish. she's on F1 visa. yea, I guess I could marry and have her stay but just figuring out what she would do, it would be a waste of all the time put into university, she would need to do something professionally...hmm

You have to go and look for an H1B visa for something like that. I don't even know what social communications is. But you can go to Colombia...just take an immersion course and live with a family that doesn't speak English. I did it one summer in college, and I was speaking Spanish after 6 weeks.

I am guessing she is on a J-1 Exchange program. She may be able to transfer to a U.S. university on an F-1 visa, if the university will accept her and she meets all the other requirements. You do need to be careful, though, if her J-1 visa is under the two year rule (called 212(e)). If that's the case, she can't change from student status to a work visa or permanent resident (even by marrying you) without going back to Colombia for two years first. The visa should say on it whether 212(e)/two year rule does or does not apply. If it's not a J-1 visa (but an F-1, for example), then don't worry about it.
