A very good friend of mine just called me...
She's an old friend from high school who graduated from UCSD with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Philosophy. She was in the same hump as most other recent college graduates, trying to find a job while looking at grad schools.
However...I don't know the details, but it seems like her visa renewal thing didn't go through, and she's going to be moving back to Korea next month indefinitely while she tries some other things and tries to figure stuff out.
This is such bullshit. I'm feeling some Democrat rage, right now, lol.
In all seriousness, though, this whole thing is really stupid. She's lived in the US since she was like eight or so. She's been having issues with her visa for several years now, but it getting to the point where it's better for her to move out of the country for the time being is just stupid. She's contributed more to the US than I have -_-
I don't know. I don't have anything in particular to say, and I don't know much about citizenship and immigration issues, even at an armchair level. I'm just really bummed out one of my best friends is going to be gone for a who knows how long because of it. ):
|
You could marry her... Just sayin...
|
Yea it sucks. The American visa thing is a bitch in general. Luckily, I'm Canadian, so I can always resort back to the easy TN if I need to work in the States.
|
I understand her pain 
I moved to the US when I was two with my family because my dad was trying to get his phd. Besides going to korea for about less than half a year when I was in third grade I lived in the US for about 12 years. When I finished 7th grade my whole family had to go back to Korea because of Visa issues.
|
cant she take that test to become a US citizen? that is, unless she doesnt want to.
|
You can't just take a test, there are requirements. But yea, you can just marry her. Then do whatever later on.
|
I do believe that she has to leave america because her visa expired, and therefore living in america as an undocumented person. and btw, you did say that she came to america before the age of 15?
It seems like this bill known as the DREAM ACT is her only hope, if what I just wrote is all true

it is probably overkill, but it would definitely be the most romantic thing ive read on the internet if you did.
doitdoit. we are rooting for you.
make sure you blog about it 
As real advise, she should talk to an immagration lawyer if she hadnt already.

Yeah man, marry her. You guys are old enough anyway!

Yeah, if she's a good friend, then you can just marry her to keep her in US! Could always divorce afterwards too ;p

I hear that in the US, chances are pretty good for divorce. (57% or something?)
