Talk to them what are they going to do with you. Atleast get your payroll running till Dec. When you can get an I-20 and start school from Jan.

Sorry to hear about your situation, but its no mystry that the mkts are bad. Also talk to a school DSO. I am not sure, but if guess if you get an I-20 approved from Jan, and if the company runs your payroll till Nov u should be fine.

So 4 words,

JAN-I20-PAYROLL-NOV.
