Here is the website for the state department that will give you all the answers to your questions: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1268.html

Answer 2

Do it the same way she's doing it. That's the only way to make sure that you both end up in the same town.

There are a lot of programs that would send you to America, but they usually have the final say in where you end up. You don't want to go through all of this trouble and end up in California when she's in New York!

Answer 3

You're almost an adult. Finish out your school where you are. When you graduate, then you can move to the States to be with her (or she can move back...whatever). If it's meant to be, your love will survive a year of being apart, and will make you appreciate each other more when you're together!

Answer 4

there's an exchange student in better off dead, it's the only one i can think of.

Answer 5

Find out where she's going, then apply for a similar program.

Answer 6
