Thanks puhrince,
So whats been your experience so far...have you started your studies?
Do you get in-state tuition?
Ever considered part-time?

well my situation is different, haven't been able to apply for I-485 due to visa retrogression..but i am going to go ahead and proceed with full time studies - want to switch careers, so part-time is not ideal for that..have applied for fall at 5 schools - waiting to hear on the decisions which come out this month...also i don't want to wait one more year, there is an age to do an mba and i can't forever to start it while the immigration rules stagnate.

u get in-state tuition yeah, but depends on where u apply - some schools don't offer any in-state, some do.

What visa will be you on when you are a fulltime student? It is virtually impossible to get F-1 is you have applied for I-140

I read somewhere that you can withdraw your intent to immigrate and show ur papers of withdrawl at the time of F1 application..but not sure on this..hope the visa retrogression clears up
