Sis, Nepali students are getting confused because of dumb arse lawyers in avvo.. who give conflicting and wrong answers in the same thread. It seems like most of the answers are just posted in there even without a good research. I advise all our brothers to pay extra attention and carefulness when you try to gain some information from avvo.com or such answer sites in the web. I would also like to suggest direct calling USCIS or ask read some of the views by gorton law in sajha.
Sis, who says the TPS is not meant for f1s and h1s? It is a benefit given by the USCIS for all Nepalis who haven't committed any crime and who was in the usa before june 24th. Why not use it what is given. TPS will allow thef1 to work and feel secure for job hunting. same with h1, it practically removes the slavery that comes with h1 and given open access to the job market when it come to legality of working in the US. I am surprised that you actually went ahead in name calling the f1s and h1b as greedy and stupid. They are not greedy, they are the most respectable folks in the Nepali immigrant community who are working hard to pursue their happiness. With TPS they are trying to do it legally, so what's wrong with that? and they are definitely not stupid because they are f1 and h1b going go school or who graduated and working in us work force that requires brain. please have some respect. Programming assignment is hard and if it requires asking around it just means someone is doing research, unless someone blatantly copies it, nothing wrong with that.
