Hello,

I live in Denmark and consider going to the US for college. If I get admitted in a
university, and want to study there, is it then possible to get a VISA? I understand
it's fairly easy if the education is in connection with an university education over
here, but what if I want to start my college education (and maybe finish) in the US,
can I then get a visa?

Venlig hilsen / Best regards,

You can get student visa's. To be sure about the rules and regulations involved with
a student visa, I would contact the U.S. Consulate in Copenhagen (I presume) and ask
them what the procedures are for Denmark.

Yes, it should be fairly straightforward. First, you find a college that accepts you.
The college will handle most of the paperwork and issue you form I-20. You use that
to go to the US consulate in Denmark and apply for the actual visa.
