Was wondering before i got deep into research, if anyone has ever done, or heard of a RD high-school age student, coming to US to finish one or two years of highschool? I'm talking about on his own with help from family, not thru a ROTC club or such. With what research i've done, i know it can be done, but i was wondering if anyone here had ever done it, or know of someone who has? This student has a visa to travel here, but not one to study. He is my brother-in-law, and is very intelligent, but does not attend a school in the DR like Abraham Lincoln. I know that he would need a sponser, me and my husband, and we would have to prove we are able to take care of him financially. Thats not a problem. Can anyone tell me say, how long this process takes? Am i starting at a good time, say, if i wanted him to come attend school this coming year? Is this type of situation granted often? Any info and past experiences or knowledge would be great. I plan on making more phone calls, and reading more of the CIS website...
