Hi guys,
I am a Ph.D. student. I have F-1 and TPS. I am considering to use TPS and forget about F-1. I understand it makes sense to have F-1 but it's been extremely difficult due to my health conditions. In order to maintain F-1, we have to follow certain rules, there are not much flexibilities available. I have just started my dissertation, and it will take me about one and a half year to complete my Ph.D.( knock on wood). I heard that it is not easy to get a green card through Ph.D.
Does anybody have idea how long does it take to get a green card through Ph.D. in IT? I have been having health issues for years, and now I really need that flexibility to provide myself more time to care of myself. I don't know it is the right decision to give up on my F-1 status, but it is been extremely difficult. Please provide any suggestions. I appreciate your time.
