I don't think they would waste their resources. They'd be well used, it is just that we do not qualify. We are not citizens or residents, it's this country's money. It is fair.

We are basically on our own, but there a a few choices. Private loans, with a US citizen cosigner is one, but it is a loan. My son attends a private college and they have scholarships based on academics regardless of nationality. The state university...

I've asked this before, but the attorney I am about to retain told me that I could stay here while I was in school and that I could file I-140 and that would get me "on the waiting list". I am confused, can I or not? OPT ends Dec 19. I graduated ADN ...
My attorney said you could file I-140 and stay here with F-1 status, attending full time and everything except working. Is that right? He said that would place me on the "waiting line", which I know could be years. Is this accurate? Can I be in F-1 w...
I recently did the change of status for my son from F-2 to F1. He was able to study in highschool with the F-2, but for college, for degree seeking classes, he needed the F-1. With F-2 status he would only have been able to take non degree seeking cl...
Believe me, I know I'm blessed!!! I am making the best out of this opportunity and learning all I can. I want the hospital to value my work and mysef as a worthy individual that can be an asset for them. Visa uncertainty can affect us all in many way...
The bonus is for signing a contract for one year. The hospital's human resources department is aware of the expiration date on my EAD. It will allow me to work for them for one year, like I signed on my contract. Being under OPT was no problem at all...
That's right. I am working under OPT and simply applied for the job, was interviewed and was hired on the spot. I got my sign on bonus and everything. I just dread the fact that if nothing changes, it will be over in december!!!!
I HAD 75 AND PASSED ON FEB 29. I HAD THIS HORRIBLE FEELING FOR DAYS , I WAS SURE I HAD NOT PASSED. BUT I DID!!! I PAYED THE $7.00 TO CHECK IT ON LINE. I COULD NOT WAIT!! I TOOK IT ON FRIDAY AND FOUND OUT ON SUNDAY. STAY CALM. IT IS OVER NOW AND KEEP ...
Exactly what I needed, a place to vent! I warn you, you might regret it!!! I took NCLEX on Friday Feb. 29, so it seems like I will fit right in. .. I am freaking out, I am sure it is everyone's story, but I honestly feel like I have never felt before...

I go back in the fall to graduate in December. I am just so sad! I appealed my instructor's decision all the way up to the chancellor, I still got a no, but it made me feel better. My family and sponsors were very supportive, and the school allowed ...
