what do you do if you are an international student and your school kicks you out for
the reasonable restriction of underage sorcery you are hereby expelled from hogwarts school of
witchcraft and wizardry everyone is going to tell you to go back to your home country to get a visa
and then maybe you can come back I'm going to tell you another way let's get to it
hi everyone my name is Joseph I'm the managing partner here at Tsang & associates where we
solve legal problems with creative solutions international students across the country
gets terminated by their school day in and day out maybe they're they have a minimum requirement of
doing 12 units and they just failed one class or maybe some circumstance happens and there's
a glitch in the system and they only got nine classes a lot of students and a lot of DSO's
designated school officials to these international students a lot of
times all the advice that they get is go back to your home country reapply for the f1 visa
we can give you a new I-20 an enrollment and mission so that you can come back
to school to start the next quarter or the next semester for the international student
that is a nightmare think about it they already have an apartment they already have maybe housing
they have they may had a client who had a cat how can they leave the cat for like six months right
because when you go back to your home country to get an appointment at the consulate and to
apply you still might be even denied right so you might have to leave for six months at a time
not to mention the cost of international travel not to mention the additional cost of family shame
I'm so sorry it's my nephew he's very disturbed meeting strangers upsets him last year I had a few
ivy league students that this happened to it was beyond their control they they're really
furious at the school but the school couldn't do anything to help them well what can they do
so this is the solution this is the creative solution that we came up with to help them
out the first thing we did was we checked their visa a lot of times people get f1 visas that last
tremendously long five years 10 years even and if it is still current well then we advise them to
get all the school records to show that they were good students from the point of entry till now so
they have all their transcripts they have letter rex they might even have CBP employment card
to show the officer that they are real bona fide students and the third thing we ask them to do is
to get a new i-20 sometimes from the same school sometimes from a different school it's okay in
in college towns there's a lot of universities around public private it doesn't matter then you
get your i20 with all your documents then you come to the border right whether it's a Canadian border
or the Mexico border you go you exit the country the united states and then you re-enter and then
you talk to the CBP officer say I have an f1 visa which means you're able to get into the country
and the only difference is you were entered you were originally admitted for this particular
school now you're changing to a different school that's it that's the key difference
the officer might be a little suspicious but they look at everything and they say oh I
see you were a student you were bona fide and this is a new i-20 I will admit you once you are
admitted you get a new i-94 you're able to stay in the country and then from there if you want to you
can change back to your original school a lot of the students for example are ivy league clients
who had to go through this entire ordeal then they were able to go back to their school their
dso was willing to give them a new i-20 and they were able to go back to their original program
without skipping a beat they were able to directly enroll and just continue class and it only took
about a week we help students do this all the time all right if you watched this far into this video
