School Demanding Full Tuition from F1 Student who got Married

[Desut 0]

Hi,

There are 2 questions you asked. First, regarding monies - yes the school can collect it but I see you're working out a plan with them. The other is more important since it is related to immigration. Her F1 student visa is tied to her I-20 which requires her to maintain full time registration. If she does not, then she falls out of status, and the university is legally required to notify USCIS.

Since she was legal during her last Point of Entry and inspected by Inspector, it doesn't matter if she is now out of status. However, to be 100% safe you should file your application ASAP. Unless the beneficiary was subject to deportation at the time of application, and the petition is pending, she cannot be subject to removal.

Thanks for the reply. Great website! Thank you very much!

I wouldn't worry about it. My ex told me she was on an F-1 visa when we got married. What she didn't tell me was that she NEVER attended a day of school and instead worked illegally for three years before finding some sucker to marry her. Before the marriage happened though, she was also arrested for shoplifting (before she had a green card) and her conviction on this offense didn't trigger anything from USCIS either. Unfortunately I found out she had never attended classes 3 years later when she was applying for student aid (and got it!).

After the green card, and shortly after getting the conditions lifted on her initial 2 year card she got convicted of another shoplifting charge. Since then she has acquired three additional shoplifting convictions.

So you see, the current administration is not checking anything anyway. At our interview, my ex was never asked about her school attendance or any previous arrests. Instead, she was able to pull this over on USCIS the same way she was able to pull it over on me.

So I really wouldn't worry about the interview anyway. Its obvious they don't check anything anyway.
