The father who immigrated to the United States was refused a visa.

Your question is very special. If you want to study in the United States, it will be more troublesome because your father applied for political asylum in the United States, that is, "political asylum." To put it bluntly, your father is a refugee in America. It's easy to apply to an American university. As long as your language performance and some learning conditions meet the standards, the university will admit you. Your problem is that even if you have an acceptance letter from an American university, it is difficult to apply for a study visa in the United States, because the visa officer who applies for a study visa in the United States must know your family's economic conditions and your parents' work and will verify it. Your father can't provide you with financial guarantee in your present situation (even if your father is objectively rich in the United States, the embassy will not consider your father's financial situation, so it can only be provided by your mother. If your mother is rich (the source of funds must be justified, and now the embassy is very strict in this regard in combination with the public security law), then the problem of funds does not exist. If your mother's financial situation is average, it depends on the visa officer's mood. In fact, the key problem is your father, who applied for political asylum in the United States. The embassy must take into account that you will stay in the United States after completing your studies. Because your father is an American refugee, you are much more likely to stay in the eyes of visa officers than ordinary people! Moreover, you can't apply for political asylum (you can go to Baidu to meet the conditions for political asylum), so you don't even have the possibility of being detained urgently, and it is very likely that the US Embassy will refuse the visa. Of course, after all, I don't know you. If you meet the requirements for political asylum, you can directly apply to the embassy for asylum (this is also very dangerous, the danger comes from China, you know ~). The insurance method is to get a tourist visa (tourist visa is easy to handle), and immediately surrender to the police or immigration bureau after arriving at the American airport and ask for political asylum. I have worked in the embassy for six years, and the above is from experience.
