I used to study in a boarding school in New Mexico, but due to economic problems I had to leave school on Saturday. I came to El paso, Texas thinking about finding a school here to study. One of my friends supported me and her mom took over my guardianship. Everything was going perfectly fine, I enrolled in a public high school on Tuesday to start going to school on wednesday. But tonight we had a visitor, ( an immigration attorney) we talked to him about my situation and he told us that what we were doing was illegal because my F-1 visa expired as soon as i left school. He told me that if i decided to stay in the public high school, It would affect me on my future (college, work, etc) and also I would be subject of getting the 10 year ban thing. He also told us that if I decided to go to a private school, I would have to go back to my home country and request an F-1 visa all over again and this process takes a while and I do not want to lose school days, semesters, or years. I am 12th grader, and I am looking forward to graduate and keep on my studies in the US. I can not go back to my home country because I would lose all my transcripts; therefore, I would have to go back to being a freshman again and I do not want that.
It has not been a week since I left school. So please suggest me on what should I do?
I want the best for my future!!! Thank You and Im sorry if my writing is sloppy, but im frustrated about this plus English is my second language.
