Switching to a Community College While Waiting on I-140
I am looking for advice regarding my immigration situation and long-term options in the U.S.
- From a partially banned country
- I recently graduated with a fully funded M.S. in Computer Science (thesis track)
- My research focuses on AI-supported education systems and software engineering education
- During my master’s, I built and deployed AI-assisted educational software used in university classes, and I currently have 7 research papers/preprints
- I have applied for OPT, and still waiting
- Applied for PhD programs; I have not gotten a funded offer so far. Every professor I speak to says the same thing about being interested in my work, but no funding
- I want to remain on status
- I am applying to the EB2-NIW this month
- I am patiently waiting for a positive decision from Dorcas v. USCIS
- I hope to stay in legal status via community college while I keep on applying to PhD programs
I would love tp know y'all's personal thoughts and whether you think this is a good idea!!
