So, what do you want to do now? What are your plans?

I intend to continue with my studies. no falling out of status again after much advice. i will keep fighting, it's not easy for any body. even the us citizens still fought for work study. 200 persons drag am with me. but God pass them.
i will continue this semester and see what the next holds by planning.

God Helping Me.

See Exxy, I will go straight to the point and won't blow hot and cold.Let "falling out of status" be your last option. Not until your school tells you that you've been dropped; please keep fighting. If you can work under the table as an illegal, why can't you as an F-1 student in status too? If you can look for someone to marry as an illegal in NY, why can't you also look for someone to marry while going to school? Everything is a risk but going to school is more realistic - you can still control that. Your school give scholarships, you have an accommodation, and an on-campus job. Just fight to get the scholarship and keep going. Again, do not fall out of status unless all your options have been exhausted.

ok sir, that's the thing i was even trying to tell him, he would not listen and keep shouting on phone.

MsNas:
Exxy,

Did your uncle hook you up with someone to file papers for you in New York?
Did he seek accommodation for you in New York?
Did he get you a job there?

If the answers to those questions is No, I will reiterate this... "Your uncle is an enemy of progress". I see someone here advising you to fall out of status so you can sort out your papers? Can't you go to school while you're also looking for someone to file for you? As a matter of fact, the easiest place to find someone and network is the school environment.

This person also said you don't have a guarantee you're gonna get a job and subsequently get a company to file H1B or GC for you. True, there's no guarantee. But what's the guarantee you're gonna get someone to file for you or even get money to pay the person filing for you when you fall out of status? Think about it well o. At least, if you finish school, you've got a certificate, you've gotten something out of your stay in America and you can always go to Nigeria to get a job. You're even given preference there. Unlike falling out of status and living the hard knock life in America, working minimum wage jobs, holding out hope for a better tomorrow (which btw might not come soon) thereby wasting your productive years.

Tell the person advising you to fall out of status first and come and tell us the stories of how well things worked out. Maybe I can believe life is rosy for them then.

The thing is my uncle said i should go and stay with my aunt in newyork who is illigal, so accomdation is ok, but he didn't find a job for me, he didn't get someone to file for me.

House i need advice ooo, my uncle in the state called me yesterday and told me to leave school(fall out of status) so that i can go work in newyork. before now, this same uncle didn't support my coming to the state, financially and otherwise. but now he wants me to leave school to a state where his not even in. He was saying who is going to pay my tuition, who will do this, who will do that, i said sir, i have gotting 2 jobs on campus, my department has schorship, and more over i have paid half of my tuition(1500) my tuition is about $3k, i dont stay on campus, and my feeding is garanted, accomdation is ok, feeding is ok, but my uncle said i should forget that one, and see to what his telling me. House i need ur advice oo, my uncle wan kill me.

Zeezahbee, imperiouxx, bigfrancis21, walspring, MsNas and others make una look into the matter oo

mandybaby2007:
It is ok to declare financial hardship to your school on the assumption your are already a student of the school and you have previously enroled nd paid for atleast 1semester, if u sudenly find urself in financial distress after dat u can discuss with them instead of keeping quiet nd faling out of status, d school wil work out a payment plan for u, atleast in my school a friend was in financial distress nd cudnt enroll for a new semester cos she was stil owing 7k in fees for d last semestr, int'l ofice caled her nd asked why she isn't enrolled she explained she can't pay her past bill so her acount was suspended, she was adviced 2go 2bursary nd discus with a particular person, she went there d hold was lifted on compasionate grounds she registered for d new semester nd d hold was placed again, she eventualy got a GA for d new semester sometime midsemester so d GA paid her curent tuition with d old one still looming, d bursary unit structured a plan for her where dey deduct $200 from her stipends every check, also if she has some personal funds she tries 2pay. Uptil now 3semesters later she is stil owing about 4k in past bill but she is stil enroled and paying it off litle by litle. I must add dat my school is 1of d most int'l student friendly schools, they will do anythg 2help out, so mayb oda school may not b as understanding, some may jst tell u 2pay or withdraw, depends on ur school.

Bro thanks alot, pls pm me the name of your school. i send u one

All the information you need to apply is online.

thanks bro.

MsNas:
Depending on your state, you don't need an SSN to get a State ID. You'd need your I-20(Signed), I-94, Nigerian Passport, School ID and cash for the State ID. Your photo will be taken at the DMV.

Thanks MsNas, I'm in Mississippi. do u know if it's possible here

bigfrancis21 bro, i sent u a pm

bigfrancis21:
You'll need to get a job first on campus to be able to obtain an SSN. You'll get it at the Social Security Administration (SSA) Office.

Basically you'll need an SSN to obtain a state ID. But in the absence of an SSN, you'll need to obtain a letter of waiver from the SSA office in lieu of the number. The state ID can be obtained from the MVA office in your state.

ok thanks bro

house, Can i get SSN without a job? can i get a state ID without SSN, and where do i get it.
