Hi, I have immigrated to U.S when I was 11, and I am turning 19 this year.
Although it has been 8 years, I still do not have green card.

My dad's company promised to sponsor my family,
but it went out of business around 3 years ago.
(When we only needed to wait 6 more months to finally acquire green card.)

Now, my dad is F-1 visa, and my family is barely staying in U.S with F-2 visa.
I am not sure how long this status could last...

but one thing for sure, when I turn 21, I have to make a move myself. (Since I will be no longer dependent on my family in status wise.)

So, I am trying to find a career that can be easily sponsored.

I currently live in Fullerton, CA.

Can anyone tell me what kind of studies I should pursue, so that after I become 21, I will have skills that people are more likely to sponsor?

Many said as long as I do well in my study, I will be fine.

And I did.

I received 4.3 GPA in highschool, and was nominated as one of top class student. However, I will be graduating in month and half, and I have no idea what to do after I graduate.

Help.......

T.T

No, praying is for the weakminded. Take action, make calls, make hunger strikes, and strike fear at your foes. For, tomorrow, we shall win.

Ok, you are 19 so your life hasn't even really started. Not to put you down, but you don't even know what it means to work hard, yet see your dreams go up in smoke.

In simple terms: there is no bachelor's degree that will expedite your petition. I know nursing(especially BSN) has the best chance for you to get hired right away, but that will only last a year while your are on OPT, and applications take much longer so you will go out of status. You can count on H1B visa if you have a BSN but the chances of you getting one are pretty small from what I heard.

For now just go to college if you can afford it and study whatever you want. After you get on Bachelors , get on OPT for a year, that will keep you in status a little longer. In 5 years the DA will most likely pass, and even if it doesnt you can leave on your own terms if you choose to do so, or even get married in the mean time. For now, if you are still legal, just be glad you can get a DL.
