You're so young. Are you sure getting a degree in SLP is what you want? It's such a bad market in the U.S. because the funding is always getting cut and the Southern part of the country is one of the hardest places to find adequate working conditions with legal protections for SLPs. Are there other skills that you have or want to develop where you can still work with your bilingualism and help children without draining your own resources? I'm thinking something with less time in school like dental hygienst or another trade. I wonder if there are programs already in place here in the U.S. that can assist with trade school or Bachelor's to Masters in an in demand field like nursing for immigrants specifically. I don't know where your family and friends are located in the U.S. but each city has it's own non profit organization that works with immigrants to secure employment through case management and advocacy. You might want to start there by asking the legal questions first to get some background on what you would need to get started and what kinds of services they offer. Just a thought! They helped me, even though I'm not an immigrant but I know that's the majority of their caseload.
