Moving to the us at 16
Hello
This may seem an odd or ridiculous question to ask but In a few month's I will be leaving mandatory schooling In England at 16 and I was wondering for me too move out to the states would my parent's need to sign forums for me to stay here or would they have to come out with me.
And an additional thing is would I have to attend high school or middle school ? with me being 16 ?
Thank's for any answer's

Are you asking from a visa point of view? Or are you already a US citizen?

If you're getting an F-1 visa, your parents CAN'T come with you. There's no F-2 visa available for the parent of an F-1 visa holder.

Re: Moving to the us at 16
I don't know if you'd need your parents' permission, but I also have not heard of a 16-year old getting a student visa to attend high school in the USA. Are you thinking of going to university here instead?

Do you qualify to enter a US University? Have you applied anywhere? I think as long as you get accepted into a university, and qualify for the F-1 visa, then being 16 shouldn't be an issue (in my layman's opinion).

It's not common for US 16-year olds to be ready for college / university. Might be different in the UK, I don't know.

Re: Moving to the us at 16
Your parents are happy for you to move to the US on your own at age 16, and to pay the tens of thousands of dollars a year it'll cost for you to study there?
