Is it possible for me to get a private loan for college? (E2 visa)?

I am going to be a freshmen at UCLA. i currently have an E2 visa and have been living in US for about 9 years. My petition for the NON-IMMIGRANT VISA waiver has been approved at the school, which means that that I will pay what the residents of California pay for tuition. I have applied for a private loan (citiassist undergraduate loan) one of the private loan companies preferred by UCLA financial office. I have gotten a co-signer who is an American citizen and the loan has been approved. However, when I attempted to get an approval from the school, they have told me that for some reason, they do not approve loans of an E2 visa student. So, I called the Citibank to find out what my other options are, and they have told me this has never happened before. I was wondering if theres anything i can do to get this loan. Thank you for your time.

1. See if your co-signer can get the loan for you. Then you would be responsible for seeing the loan was paid to the co-signer. After your first year in college you should have little trouble getting financing for your education if you are in good standing with the school. You would also be able to look into scholarships, etc. depending on your GPA. Dr. Tommy Skelton
2. Hello, see if your co-signer can get the loan for you. Some student loans are possible without co-signer. I found interesting information about your answer, college loans, scholarships, college grants & partime works here.http://all-student-loan-consolidation.blogspot.com/2007/07/college-loan-consolidation.htmlGood luck!
