I came to the US on f1 student visa from Africa to go to University in 1998. During my first year my parents couldn't continue paying fees. I stayed in US have been working illegally using my social (employers haven't been checking at all) and now I enrolled at local community college. Unfortunately, denied me in-state because i lived here under illegal status and couldn; file tax return, and it's costing me alot. I really want to go back to school (a 4yr college with help of scholarship) but then comes trouble with my papers and I-20. this community college didn't issue me an I-20 and i am scared to ask, but come time to transfer what do i do. I have no status!My visa expired 1 year and a half ago. What do i do? Can i force them to transfer my 1-20. What if they say no? Will they deny me the right to take classes? About my illegal situation i'm looking to get married.Do you think it's a solution. Please help! I'm lokoking for lawyers but they're all asking for aroudn $7000.Please I need advice or tell me where to get it. Thank you and god bless! |

Hi!
well it doesnt sound good! but the fact is that your F1 status is over as soon as u r no more a full time student.But if u hav been a full time student since the time u came to the US then u r fine but u will still need a new I-20 from the school u r going to attend now. An I 20 cannot be transferred only the F! VISA CAN BE TRANSFERRED. if u have been in status u do not need to worry but in case u have been out of status u will need a lawyer. See what u think your case is, I myself have gone thru the whole thing of getting visas converted so I understand what mental tension u might be going thru. Just in case u need a lawyer reply to this and I shall give u the reference of the one I used, He was good and cheaper than quite a few. He is in NY. |
