So yeah, in 2 days, on August 12, my visa expires, and also my parents driving license. We've been living in America for almost 10 years and my dad wrote letters to senators and government people and they still haven't replied. We applied for a new visa also but we have like 48 hours or we screwed.

School starts the day our visa expires, I might be living in America illegally for a couple of days. I actually kinda like this, I wanna go back to Korea for a little bit and get visas and things renewed but I hope our family finds out a way to figure things out.

Send black mail to senators and government people. The color will make them read it first.

Thanks, and the title is misleading, aliens are people who aren't citizens. I'm about to be illegal soon so yeah

on what basis were you allowed to stay in US for 10 years?
it's probably impossible for your family to stay right now since u can't seek political asylum or anything like that, but you can stay on your own I'm pretty positive. Do they grant koreans long term visas multiple times? I know relations with South Korea is special, so probably u have some options

How does it feel to be illegal?

We came through a study visa or something like that for my dad but now he's working as a minister. It feels pretty good being illegal

It's funny you mention this because I work at the Immigration and Refugee board of Canada.

yea thats the only bad part
especially if you are a high school junior
but alot of that has to do with 학원 cause kids go to like 2,3 just for english, even on saturdays
i cant understand why because their english tends to be unintelligible at best

but you wouldnt need to do that so thats like 3 hours a day extra to sleep :D
