Due to a bad decision I made in the early years when I was enrolled as an international student, I fell out of status. Those were my darkest days. The first thing I did after TPS was granted was I went back to college and completed my bachelors. This was last December. I have a STEM degree but no OPT, because I wasn't F-1.
It has been over a month and half after reapplying for the extension and my status still says processing. My anxiety is compounding every day to the point that I am beginning to panic. I want to go to graduate school. Does anyone know an affordable college with CPT? Or, any advice is greatly appreciated. Trying to reclaim my life, I am all ears.
