Hi guys, I am a Ph.D. student. I have F-1 and TPS. I am considering to use TPS and forget about F-1. I understand it makes sense to have F-1 but it's been extremely difficult due to my health conditions. In order to maintain F-1, we have to follow certain rules, there are not much flexibilities available. I have just started my dissertation, and it will take me about one and a half year to complete my Ph.D.( knock on wood). I heard that it is not easy to get a green card through Ph.D. Does anybody have idea how long does it take to get a green card through Ph.D. in IT? I have been having health issues for years, and now I really need that flexibility to provide myself more time to care of myself. I don't know it is the right decision to give up on my F-1 status, but it is been extremely difficult. Please provide any suggestions. I appreciate your time.

@nastiksolti Thank you for sharing. I did talk to a lawyer, he suggested me to maintain both if possible. However, given my situation, it's been very difficult to maintain F-1. I had to take a little gap from school and work because I was not feeling well, I am still trying to figure things out. I have maintained my status so far. I am just worried that if anything happens to TPS and it took me longer than excepted then .... you know what... And finding a better job to get sponsorship seems difficult these days.

See,I am not perturbed at all by you being mean to me. If I earned it, so be it. I don't even know you for so long like Ram Bhakta or Underwear here. Let me reiterate, I do not want to know your health conditions. Period! If you say you have them, ok I will buy them. I am not saying I do not like your post. Just trying to point out that the only missing thing here is 'credibility', that's it. Still I cannot imagine what kind of school you are going to who is not letting you take a break when there are so many F1 students all over US, they keep taking health emergency break either for genuine / 'non-genuine' reasons. You must be very gullible person then to not understand the ways people work around here. I respect the opinions of other people only if they make sense, if they do not yes, I open my big mouth. And besides there are lot of "con artists" in Sajha, who know how to troll fellow users and have fun at their expense. Me being apprehensive to your mission statements emerges from the fact that you do not sound and talk like PHD students that I have come across n my life. You lack that touch, sorry!

@benedict You think I lack that touch because you believe so after talking mannerlessly, then I genuinely think that you have no manners and you think you are always right but you are only close-minded. I don't have to live with you, you do. So sorry for that. I am just here to hear what some genuine people with some decency have to say. Some of you guys wasted so much time to talk sh@t rather than using 10% of that energy to try to understand someone's situation with some decent languages, big talk doesn't make somebody a big person. You posts show. Rather than lecturing other people what one should have shared or said, learn yourself first. I understand it is hard for some people. Especially bitter ones. Too many excuses for bad behaviors. Nobody needs to put up with people like you who can't mind their own business and bring their filthy mouth everywhere to misbehave, and only care about what makes sense to them and that must be correct.

No clue what manners he keeps referring to? We can make our valid points with good logic right?Some travesties that keep repeating through out: # Mind your own business # Learn your manners # Close-minded # Close-minded # Close-minded # I talk mannerlessly # understand others situations bla bla # big talks # big mouth # filthy mouth I can very well imagine your dissertation content. P.S. When I said, the recently enrolled undergrad students are undecided about major and end up studying useless gen-aid courses, what is the backstory there that is really to be understood????We know they are just out of high school, they don't know what to study and what careers to pick. It is understandable for these people. Look at you, you are friggin' grown ass man and doing PHD and there is one and half year to complete and you have not chosen the topic of your interest yet and are asking in some trivial place like Sajha and is more worried about your immigration status than your studies. It is not understandable in your case!! That was the irony I was trying to show, man!! What kind of manners I need to learn now to make that statement? I communicated well my point but you could not grasp the point then whose problem is it? Is it zero communication skill or zero understanding skill of yours that is evident?
Bennedict · May 11, 2023 2:47 PM
Go and read your post first, make bullet points. You will not because you are a hypocrite with double standards. You don't comment on somebody's post mean and ignorant languages since the beginning when the person is just trying to get some opinions and experiences, respectfully. Remember the line you highlighted about people are not always going to be nice and take in opinions, is that only for others? Look the way you write/talk and you are doing the exact same thing again and again, contradicting yourself. If you don't know how to talk then don't comment, if you comment I can talk too like you said you can. Now you pretend like a you are a bigger person and you don't even have a decency to accept your bad posts, and you expect people to be nice to you after you talk sh@t. Maybe your puberty has not hit, that's why you immaturely reacted to somebody else's post with your filthy mouth. If you are that intelligent then firstly you would not talk to somebody like that or be judgmental, and secondly you wouldn't try this hard to defend yourself when you have contributed nothing to help but to pollute this thread, what a grown up, egoistic man that can't let it go. Read the first post this is not about you and your closed minded assumptions. You can't even respect other people's situations period!

I stand by what I wrote based on your manifestations, okay. I am not being a hypocrite like you may want to think. If my writings were mean and ignorant then it means you have an issue of bearing a soft-hearted soul, probably a 'mama's boy type'. Nothing wrong in being one!I never pretend I am a bigger person, it is your insecurities that are talking here. I was not able to let it go, because your post right from its onset sounds like a work of some bored con-artist. Read that "H1B fraud" thread of H1Bseeker on your way outside to understand what I meant. For the last time for record, I am not "closed minded", whatever you are hinting there. I respect your life situations too, but sadly they are looking as shadier as it can get. You can keep defending them till your grave though. Peace, sending good vibes, bro.

It's funny how wrong you are. Nobody thinks they are wrong even though they are. Nobody can change my life experiences even though they have different experiences and perspectives. You were unable differentiate if this post was legit or not. It is easy to give other people lectures but follow them for yourself, is not that easy. People need to look at themselves in the mirror. Stop telling others how they should experienced/shared their stories. If you don't want to share then ignore. You have a mouth and reasons, so do other people. All these unnecessary disrespectful behavior, and others have to put up with it. Some people on sajha have good intensions, that's why I share here once a while. Too opinionated people who can't give you good/genuine advice when one is going through some stuff but ready to be deameaning. I guess when there is good, there is bad as well.
