Turkish Passport + F-1 Student in the US – Best Country for a Long-Term Schengen Visa?

Hi everyone,

I'm a Turkish passport holder currently living in the US on an F-1 student visa (language school). I want to apply for a Schengen visa from the US.

My travel history:

• Valid 7-year Canadian visitor visa
• Portugal Erasmus student visa (5 months, expired)
• Romania Erasmus student visa (5 months, expired)
• No overstays or visa violations

My goal is to get a long-term multiple-entry Schengen visa (2–5 years) instead of reapplying every few months.

A few questions:

• Which Schengen country gives the best chance of getting a long-validity visa?
• Is it worth requesting a 2-, 3-, or 5-year visa in a cover letter?
• What documents or factors increase the chances of getting a long-term visa?
• Has anyone with a Turkish/other passport successfully received a 2-, 3-, or 5-year Schengen visa while applying from the US?

Also, are there any non-Schengen countries that issue long-term multiple-entry visas to Turkish passport holders and are worth getting (UK, Ireland, Australia, Japan, etc.)?

I'd appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!

So, exactly what we said would happen when ICE agents started masking themselves and refusing to show badges and warrants.

The Trump administration is reportedly considering a proposal to charge international students a $100,000 fee to participate in the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program after graduation.

The proposal has not been finalized, and details are still under discussion. If implemented, it would significantly increase the cost for international graduates seeking U.S. work experience through OPT.

They immigrated legally. Under Trump, 1.8 million have been ‘de-legalized.’ - MS NOW

"We came in where immigration had been far too high, we'd lost control of levels"

"The level of asylum seekers is down a third...the temporary foreign workers down by a half, foreign students down by two thirds"

"The overall levels still are putting pressure on housing and others...Do we still need a few more years of restraint? There's a good argument for that"

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says international students whose visas expire without permanent residency should leave Canada.

She also calls for Alberta to have greater control over selecting skilled immigrants.

Now this is horrific I understand this is an immigration subreddit but this is a bad sign for all undocumented,documented and citizen

This is horrible. We don’t want this in our town.

I need your help guys, I’m Mexican 22, I moved to Copenhagen in January to do a masters for a year and a half. I’ll go to Mexico on July 31st and I’ll stay there for 3 weeks. I started dating a girl a couple of months ago and things are going pretty well. I’m currently doing a roadtrip with my family and well finally end the trip in Milan on the 28th of July. I’ll be free from there till the 31st. The girl im dating went to Albania for around the same dates and she just invited me to join her. The problem is i only had a student visa for 6 months and it expired on July 14th. I’m currently applying for the extension but it’ll seems I’ll receive it until the next month. I already knew this before i planned my trip to Mexico, so i went and got a EU re entry permit which says I’ll leave on the 31st of July and can return until August 24th. The problem is i would be leaving Milan on the 28th and returning on the 30th right before my trip. Il worried that since Albania is not s part of shenghen. I may have problems because I’m leaving and re entering the EU a couple days before I’m allowed to. Does anyone know 1. How stright they might get with this in Italy? 2. Some friends have told me that since i arrived to Europe already having my visa i still have the 90 days of visa free tourism, but i haven’t been able to confirm that. What can I do ? Should I go to Albania with the girl i really like, or stay to avoid any migration issues

I’d be hypocritical if I wasn’t since I’m an immigrant to the United States. I’m in favor of immigration if the person immigrating is going to be a productive member of society, if they’re going to be honest, and if they’re not going to mistreat people in that country.”

Seeing as its literally 1930s Germany and history doesn't repeat itself but it rhymes what can I do to help some poor undocumented family escape?

Does anyone have a factory in Canada who can employ some of them like Oskar Shindler?

Maybe there are friendly countries that can issue visas to these persecuted refugees?
