Lintas, perhaps you can try to say you planned on going to home country for a visit if you can possibly reschedule it ?
Worth a try, in your case later is truely better
Ok, so here's what I found out today. I did apply for them to put me as a resident, but you gotta love California. There is a reason why it has a world class economy.
1 year from the date of the GREENCARD, is when they are wiling to accept me as resident for tuition purposes. so until then, it's international/ out of state fees, which at Cali universities is the same amount.
I spoke to three different counselors in two different departments. 2=Internataional Office, 1=Graduate Office.
Oh well. Even cSantos is on international fees until he has his greencard in hand. at the very least after we have the PR we can get loans and grants and scholarships (which in my school have only $500 / year scholarships to internationals and then you have to pay taxes on that as income so you end up with what, $300 ? ) OR I can just work and earn good old fashioned money and not study at all for a while until I'm a CA resident.
Laws, state laws, city laws, federal laws. so many laws ... so many loopholes, so little guts to risk it

As predicted, the response to our 3rd Request for a duplicate of the ever so elusive RFE was a letter stating to allow up to 60 days for a decision on the I485. That should be good news!
The SSN arrived within a week. Thursday of last week... finally life starts!

Life is treating me fabulously thanks Cestlavie
I'm with my family, have managed in the past week to see perhaps 1/3 of them, but I'm here for 5 more weeks, so i'll manage them all. I'm undecided on whether or not to rent a car and just hit the road to see what my country looks like from a tourist's perspective.
How's life treating you and everybody else ? We are indeed in home stretch. Even me. AP brought me to my family, and EAD is waiting at home back in the states so I can work also. It's COLD here in Johannesburg, and I've picked up a nasty nasty cough, so now it sounds like i'm barking at my granny
For everybody who is still waiting for AP to see your families, I hope that your wait will be very short. It makes a world of difference to sit amongst your family members when you get news of any new developments.

cSantos, you're a hoot, Study hard pardner, it will be SOOOO worth it. You won't even begin to think how all the studies and different classes will change you and your future.
