Hi Pokhara_22, It is very sad to hear about your situation, and I understand your dilemma. I know you guys did something wrong against the law, but it can be mended. Guys, please do not panic. I understand, you guys have been going through a roller-coaster ride at this moment, but please be careful on every step you are taking right now. My question to you- have you given any warning or something like that prior from your International Student Advisor? Or perhaps to any other before??? Is this the first case it had happened in your university? Did an international student advisor send the notice to INS? Anyway, in your case, the best suggestion is to talk with the highest official of the University-President-Vice President-Dean! I know, you guys did mistakes and those higher official people will sure give you hard time approaching them. Forget about their schedule, whether they are available or out of town, that is their typical tactics of dealing with any one who wants to have an appointment, and not to mention your situation right now. Fall semester is way far from now, so take a time. Persistent- that is my motto. Keep on trying. I think you guys are meeting today right? So, please take full advantage of meeting. Try not to lament too much and try not to be arrogant. You should mention that you made a mistake of doing off-campus employment. Also mention that there should be some sort of warning prior giving such a harsh letter. Tell them you are a very hard working student, and if you have good GPA's, please do not forget to mention them. If you are graduating soon, then take full advantage of that saying with all these years of your hard work and dedication etc. I am sure talking with the University officials will definitely help you sorting the problems. Guys, don't panic. Be cool and Good Luck...!!! VR
