If I had known what I know now, I would've gone w/a student visa. At least I would have had work experience and a shot at being sponsored. There are some schools near border towns that will grant in-state tuition to internationals as well, so there's always that plus. Not to mention the driver licence, the work permit, the social security number, and being able to finish a thesis cuz the school would've been able to hire me.

If you have a degree, can speak perfect English, and be able to somewhat speak your native language, you're good to go. There are a lot of jobs available to Americanized kids. My relatives and other people that I've met in my country here are freaking out about my "American" accent and everyone's saying that I'll go far.

Try it out kids. Don't waste your life away waiting for DA.
Good luck! Keep us updated on your experiences in your birth country.

Just wondering about some things: Did you save up money to live on there? If so, how did you transfer your savings to another country?

My hometown is Juarez, it's like an American mid-size city w/dirtier streets and much better food. TJ is very much like Juarez but cleaner and moister, I dug it. Plus the shitload of beaches all over and the baja 1000, yeah you gonna like it. When in Rosarito, head to the Bada Bing!

I was looking through websites about the 3/10 year bar that was made into law in 1996, and I'm not sure if it applies to persons under the age of 18, such as myself, or not.

Idk if I posted the link right, but just in case I didn't, just copy the URL. Hopefully one of you can answer my question. Thanks

Living life on the edge huh? Sounds like fun. Now I wonder how much living life on the edge will be in Mexico City. I met a girl from Monterrey who studied en la UANL and finished her licenciatura como abogada, and she came here to study English at the community college that I'm currently attending. My point is is that she came here with a student visa so easily, well, why can't I? She said Monterrey is amazing, so if Monterrey is as bad as it's portrayed on TV, why is she telling me that? Idk, but somehow she gave me the courage to want to go back home. Plus I got a little taste of home with her presence. Oh and one more thing, es más fresa que nada la chica pero o sea, no hay pedo. lol

The bar doesn't apply since no unlawful presence counts under the age of 18.

The reason is she has money, if she talks fresa and has a visa. I know from personal experience. My uncle and all his family in mexico city have visas. He is a director at the bank of mexico. He likes it there, so you do the math. We are here cuz are parents were poor.

I moved to Utah for a while, got a good job there but didn't enjoy it after 3 weeks. It was a good salary and only required an ITIN, but it wasn't what I wanted to do so I quit and left. I wanted to do news, but ended up in video production and the company I worked for was extremely unprofessional.

I don't think I'm coming back to the US, even if the 10 year ban expires. There are other Western countries, why be trapped in America...
