Also when your stuffs got stolen, you can't really report to police.

It is amazing how I am physically "healthy" without health insurance. But who knows what can happen? Any bad injury or cancer can happen.

This is mentally wearing me out and my family is against going back because according to them, this place is so much better place and have more opportunity than my home country, South Korea. But I am starting to disagree lately as all my datings turn out not good (good for those who can easily hook up with girls. But I don't think that is my type. I am more study and research type.)

But I so agree with Lou that I really lose nothing for going back because I will not be a second citizen and I will be building my skill and friendship during the 10 year ban. I have nothing to lose indeed.

Once I thought, "what if DA passes after I leave? I would feel so ripped and all my waits" But I like how Lou said "Don't turn back."

I am also in the same situation as OP. But I do not want to potentially sacrifice my life for these politicians who hold us at hostage for god how long. We are only useful to them when election time comes. IMHO, ARMS Act will not likely have enough support from Republicans and many Democrats will shoot it down when it comes to vote.

I have gone through these same situations over and over last 4 years but I think it looks better for me to go back to my home country and plan to live in different countries like Canada, France, or Sweden. Of course, meantime I will have to save money and get my studies done. I really envy those who did leave already at the end of 2010 when DA struck down.

So I am thinking(but 90% sure) of going back to my home country from as early as this spring semester ends to definitely by the end of this year. Well, unless Dream Act happens in the meantime, which I highly doubt.
