Dear Laborperm, Thank you for your suggestion and offer. I will ask my friend to contact you. However, in the mean time, I still have few related questions. 1. Would you tell me whether or not her status is legally "illegal" right now because she does not have valid I-20 and not taking full course. what will happen if she gets cut off by police/USCIS and ask for her status. Will she have any reason to defend? Is she in vulnerable situation right now? if she is found illegal? what will be the consequence? will it also affect her husband's status, who is currently in F-1 for giving "an illegal" protection by living with her? By the way they have a little US citizen kid too. By any means her husband does not want to ruin his status. 2. Would it be beneficial for her to start taking full time course from SPring 2007. The reason is she can only go to Nepal at the end of summer. Does being full-time student even she does not have a valid I-20 will help her to save her status if she gets cut by police or USCIS or DSO. She is not in touch with DSO for few years. She has three more semsters to finish. Please suggest.
