The International student advisor at Cameron University has given A SEVIS TERMINATION AND OUT OF STATUS letter to two of the current students stating that they were involved in offcampus job. Both of the students are in F-1 status . What are the options for these students to be in status again ? We entire Nepali students in Lawton, Oklahoma are waiting for your views and comments .

Whats wrong with that paki? Go n talk to that pakistani. finally if he doesn't care you guys, than i have an idea guys so that paki gonna b in danger. FIRST TRY TO CONVINCE HIM. IF HE DOES NOT GIVE YOU A FAVOR FILE A REPORT TO THE LABOR DEPARTMENT MENTIONING THAT " THIS PAKISTANI GUY LURED US TO WORK ON HIS BUSINESS FOR HIS PROOFIT EVEN THOUGH HE KNOWS THAT INTERNATIONAL STUDENT ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK OFF-CAMPUS. PLUS HE IS EXPLOITING US BCOZ OF OUR WEAKNESS N HE IS NOT PAYING ANY EMPLOYEE TAX, BENEFITS N INSURANCE. PLUS FILE A REPORT CLAIMING MORE THAN A MILLION DOLLAR FOR PLAYING WITH OUR FUTURE".
GUYS DONT WORRY WE CAN PUT THIS PAKI IN JAIL FOR HIS WHOLE LIFE IF HE DOE NOT GIVE US A FAVOR.
LONG STORY SHORT, GOOD LUCK GUYS.

that paki sounds like a jerk... he should be helping you guys without a thought... Sabiko sathiharu's suggestion sounds tempting...jesus...that paki seems to have no empathy, sympathy and completly selfish and arrogant..

hi friends!!!
What happened... happeded!!! Its the time to act.... not to discuss!! So I want to share some of my friends experiences. Some of my friends also faced problem in the last fall. However they were able to convience the University board. For this, first you need to convience the department. State your problems, and make promise that you won't work in future and that you have learnt the lesson and won't make such mistakes again. Then after the only things that university can do is they can issue the new I-20s. Because, as far as I know, once you are out of status, you need to have new I94. So my friends went to Mexico for few days. And they got new I94 from the port of entry there. And remember that this the toughest part. You may be asked by the officer in the port of entry about your past record. Tell them the truth, and make some excuses for the reason of working. They may not issue I94, if they are not convienced.
Ok, this the only thing I can share with you guys.
Hop this will work for you guys too......

Our friends are made out of status finally by the university administration . The administration yesterday had asked them for a letter from their employer Pakistani stating they were just volunteering. We tried to meet him yesterday and night and this morning. He never answered his phone nor was able to meet anywhere.

At last , For making our friends in this condition is the Pakistani's fault. He is the only to make them out of status.

Are there any more options we have gor them?

The university today said they were unable to reconsider the decision as they do not have the letter stating the students just volunteer.

We request all the Nepali brothers and sisters to give us suggestions at this moment.

we are waiting for your comments

out of status does not mean the guys will be deported. the law says: a nonimmigrant who remains "out of status" for at least 180 days is deportable and will be unable to re-enter the United States for 3 years.

is there any chance of reinstatement? the USCIS does grant reinstatement on a case by case basis. it all depends on the immigration inspector when you submit for reinstatement. i think the most important criteria for reinstatement is that you have to prove you are genuine students and will complete a degree. the worst cases scenario (in case of reinstatement) may be you might not be able to leave USA and come back (on F-1 visa).

on this website - http://www.ice.gov/sevis/sevisfactsheet.htm it does say that "Non-immigrant students or exchange visitors who fall out of status for reasons beyond their control may be eligible to apply for a reinstatement of status. The student or exchange visitor must work with the school or program official to determine if reinstatement is an option."

can you guys contact another school who will accept you and apply for reinstatement? this might be something to consider. maybe that houston school from a thread above.

lets go n sue this Paki for abusing labor and alluring you guys against the US laws. N Lets hire a lawyer and Sue him claiming more than million $$$$$$$ for harming you guys. There are many logical reasons that can make us win.
Moreover, try hcc.edu. this is a community college in houston that might help you guys to reinstate your status
take it easy guys
God is with us to guide.

We are ahocked ,After all the efforts did not work to save our friends from deportation . The pakistani was out of contact for one day when the president just wanted the letter from the Pakhe stateing they just voluntered. We tried to call him, meet him , ad tried other options at that time. The President yesterday said she could not do anything coz it proved that they work and Pakhe had said earlier to VP that our friends were working for him.
Its ridiculous that the university is not taking any action against Pakhe.

What do all Sajha members think about the solution. Is that the only way to send them back to Nepal or they still have some more options?????

Waiting for your comments once again

if out of status is the only option and deportation is the final destination, why don't you guys report to the USCIS with the adress and everything of that pakhe that he has been employing illegally the students and give him the punishment too, damn it. You can give those two friends' reference as a proof. Just curious hai. The pakhe will end up paying fee and he will have criminal report too. Don't leave that pakhe pious.

Have your friends try Houston Comm. College first -- as mentioned above, and ask them to reinstate the case with immigration.

If that doesn't work out, have them hang around for a bit "safely", and see what this new immigration bill will bring in their plates. They might find themselves legal pathway via this new bill if they entered the country before Jan 2007. The bill should enter the senate again starting next week. Let's hope for the best!!

First "don't give up hope, talk with everyone, ask for suggestion, request-beg for excuse for your mistake"
IF NOTHING WORKS, don't get "PANIC"
"WEL COME TO LAND OF OPPERTUNITY, LIBERTY"
1. don't think that when you go out of status and when they will give deportation notice-they will hand cuff you and take you to airport-WRONG. they will give only notice, it is upto you whether you want to leave the country or not. there are hunderd of thousand of illegal aliens who came here with different means (coming in F1 is most prestigious) and now they are having PR/citizen. laws are changing every day, it is not only you who is facing such a dilemma. there are many brother/sis/frens with the same row and who knows there might be some luck coming up around the corner.
2. don't think that "LIFE IS DONE". You still have all previlages like attending college, driving, renting etc etc. Go to big cities like NY, Maime, Chicago, LosAng etc. you won't see any difference being out of status or in status.
3. last but not least: Always remember that this is a "LAND OF IMMIGRANT". Long back George Bushs'/Bill Clintions/etc etc ancestor also came from foreign country. He is also an immigrant.

this is just my view
pokharily

We would like to give sincere thanks to all.

We are going to Houston Community College and talk with DSO there. May be we will be helped.

We are still confused what will be the exact remedy for Pakhe. You all can see him in the following link.

Paki ta thulai manchhe po rahechha.

So what's goin on with our Nepali Friends?????
Please keep us posted so we know what's goin on!!!!!!!!!!!

One is going back home and another is searching college in texas.

Why is he going back home????
Man just tell him to move state!

god dammit....

That's his decision. We told him to screw that pakistani too. He employed illegal. If he had wanted everything would have been solved. The Pakistani bitch should be punished too. What you think guys?

Ya the bitch should be punished.. it's sad how the college is protecting him because he's a faculty... he should be brought under justice for using students to save money....
bitch, destroyed a younge life...

Hey guys dont get so frustrated. Try guys, there r lot of options for u guys. If not just keep on working, make some money go back to nepal, n innvest this money in you education. Guys you must b kidding!!!!!!!

TELL UR FRIENDS MAKE MONEY....NO MONEY NO HONEY IN NEPAL!!!
