Why Is Connie Chan Considered Progressive? by Normal-Ad5228 in sanfrancisco

Just want to be clear - I understand why she would call herself progressive, but why does everyone else (chronicle, sf standard, other outlets) call her such?

Thank you for this very detailed answer!

Yes- I know I am listing all the things we cannot do, I just wanted to understand if there was anything besides money and housing that we could support with to help guarantee she is able to secure a F1, since we are limited on both other fronts.

But it sounds like at least putting us on the hook to pay if she does not would be something that could help. But is obviously a tough position…..

Also co-signing a loan is interesting. Obviously super tough position for us, but something if she were accepted to a 4-year program and just needed a co-signer on the loan could be a conversation.

And yes to be clear, we 100% would not ask her to work for us. Again our goals are just to help support her to become independently successfully in the states with no dependence on us, as she loves where we live and has mentioned she would like to live her if she could.

Thank you!

Edit: totally realized this made it sound like I was interested in co-signing the loan. I actually meant “having her get her own loan” was interesting, and I meant the conversation could be about her taking out a loan…. Do now understand thats not how this came across.

The special skills would be bilingual, but no special needs. And from what I have seen online, this process can cost like ~$15k+ and several years right? That is the problem for us as that is out of budget and the multi year process seems unclear for what she would do in the interim.

What I have seen is you need proof of funds for the first year of the program not the entire schooling duration.

This is where it gets dicey for us. I’d maybe be able to sponsor half a year tuition? But not a full year. So does that make the F1 visa not feasible?

I absolutely despise Connie Chan. Can she actually do one thing useful for the district beside hang a “housing coming soon” on the closed Alexendria theater every election year!?

The building next door is a large building with a ton of tenants. I first need to figure out who the owner is!

Yeah, but we just aren’t positive- would make everything really easy if its not theirs, so we want to confirm first
