My reinstatement application was denied on 11th March, which my DSO told me about and I am yet to get that in the mail.
I have option of reentry through mexico, but I do not want to take that risk, since I plan to leave on May7th after giving my last exam.
My DSO has said that school does not have authority to remove me, nor would they be telling the INS guys about me as it is not their job. And that I would be able to graduate smoothly even if i stay here out of status. Is this true ?
I am in a dilemma, because:
1) Reentry from mexico would solve all problems but if denied, my whole degree is at stake !
2) If I choose to overstay, my illegal stay would start from 15thMarch. I would have a deadline up to 15April to leave, but I plan to leave by 7thMay.
Do I run the risk of being visited by INS guys and be deported ?
My only concern is my degree which I want to complete & go home for good !
Would INS guys come looking for me ? Does that happen a lot ?
If he does come what then ?
