student visa from france - will this allow my illegal (in US) boyfriend back into US?
Thanks to the two people who answered my other question. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnQg8PZN.xjnbCpyEWpIAtnty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20100405174644AAwNM75 My peruvian bf (illegal and asked to leave US) is voluntarily leaving the US to go to study in France. He is intending to get a French student visa and thinks this will get him back into the US by next winter. I did some research and there is such a thing as a long term visa in France for students (titre de sejour) which may grant a French residency permit. Would this allow him back into the US? I am skeptical and having a hard time believing that he'll be able to get back here legally. He went to high school here and went to college for 1 semester before his visa ran out and he got caught. Everything I"m researching doesn't make sense - are there loopholes that he can get around to come back? Thanks.

The short answer is No. After he leaves US and to come back, he has to apply US Visitors visa. However, even he gets French Residency permit or even he becomes French citizen, he will have extremely hard time getting his US visa approved due to his record of being out of status and voluntarily deported in US. There is no loopholes. He played that one before and now he is getting deported. It is unfortunate but he better forget about getting back to US, which is reality.

you say he got caught. does that mean he was deported? if so, he would be ineligible for any visa for 10 years. he would also be ineligible for any visa based on living in the US illegally, how long would depend on how old he was when he left, even if he wasn't legally deported. while it is sometimes possible to apply for a waiver on a tourist visa application, someone would have to consider him eligible for a tourist visa first, and I can't see that happening any time soon. so, just being a student in France won't make any difference.
