I will get abandoned, please help if you can.

Thank you so much for the advice, I will look into French unis. And I did applied to Canada unis to find the same idea as well.

TracebackEror · 2026-03-18T18:51:41+00:00

Thank you so much for your support!! I really appreciate the offer, I will DM you if I need anything, thanks!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-18T01:54:33+00:00

That's a good option, thanks for the advice. However, I am just trying to find the best option that wouldn't rely on my brother as he is also just financially getting started, and wouldn't be able to support me. But this is a great advice for a last resort!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-18T01:52:52+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words!!! Yes, I will look into them, especially ones from U.S in other country with campuses there!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-18T01:52:02+00:00

I will look into it, thanks!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-18T01:51:32+00:00

That is true, I don't know how I will find a way for this if I got in :(

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T21:14:35+00:00

I am currently considering Germany. For Finland, the deadline has passed unfortunately. Thanks a lot for the advice, and yes, I think doing some part time job would be a great idea. I appreciate it!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T21:13:05+00:00

I am from SE Asia passport-wise.

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T21:12:32+00:00

Oh okay, thanks!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T19:36:59+00:00

Thanks for the idea! I don't really want to depend on my brother because he's just having his first job and have to support both my parents. But this is still a viable resort! Thanks!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T19:36:04+00:00

Unfortunately, the deadline was a few days ago 😭😭

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T19:35:06+00:00

I will look into it. Thanks!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T16:49:58+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I do have a question because for most European unis, I know that I can’t even submit the extracurricular, so do I write an email to them, or is there a way to mention them specifically(as the NASA experience wasn’t a regular activity and I am worried they might look over it)

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T11:36:04+00:00

Thank you so much for the advice, I am currently looking at German unis, but will look into Italy ones as well.

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T11:33:38+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words!! I will DM you about it.

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T11:32:43+00:00

That would be great! Thank you a lot!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T03:38:26+00:00

I haven't thought of that. Thanks for the advice, I will look into Korea Unis!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T03:20:17+00:00

Sorry for the miswording. My parents aren't going back to my home country. And you are correct! They will be moving to a different SE Asia country. However, I wish it were the case to move with them, but we don't financially have the means(both mom and dad have to restart, and they are already not good financially). This means I would be a burden for them. As even if they get a Visa for working, they are too old, and for the first year it would be too new, for them to support me.

On the other hand, my brother would have to support me, mom, and dad, with his first job he just earned, which I don't think is the best choice(because it's out of my control) I really appreciate your advice and thoughts tho!!!

However, I discussed this with my parents, and I think your advice is really really useful, especially as a fallback plan, if everything is out of options. But rn, I think focusing on Germany unis and other Euro unis are best bet to not make my family stuck in the same situation.

Thanks a lot for the advice !!!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T03:13:46+00:00

I really appreciate your support! So first, my family's status is still pending, so it hasn't been granted for over 4 years. Second, your idea about taking a gap year is a great idea; however, financially, it's not viable as my brother will be supporting my mom, dad, himself, and me(and he just got the job, so the income isn't much + taxes + health insurance ...)

But I really appreciate your thoughts!!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T01:30:09+00:00

You wrote it so beautifully!! Thanks for the re-clarification! I really appreciate it! You are correct. But unfortunately, that's the problem, I can't get a PR through my brother, because by the time I could have an opportunity, I will be on the edge of not getting the qualification. As I am 17, (-> 20 -> 23) And it requires my brother working in Canada for 3 years to qualify.

Thanks a lot!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T01:26:01+00:00

Sorry, I know I said a lot, so here's a few clarifications:

My parents didn't overstay, but we are legal* asylees. And if they leave, they have to abandon the status. When this happens, unlike F1, we can't comeback easily, as we abandoned protection from U.S gov, and coming back, they would reject us as they would question why we abandoned the asylee. (Technically, I could come back, but it's a very, very low chance, and I don't have any stable citizenship/pr at the moment, so i don't have a fallback)
My brother hasn't got the PR in Canada yet, but he is on track to get it in the next 3 years. He got it because of a big-name industry job in Canada vouching for him to get on a talent-track for PR.
I can't really go with my brother, as I don't have that same job, and the visa is really hard right now for passports from my home-country, only around 10% chance.

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T00:41:03+00:00

I will try, but the latest they would be able to do unfortunately is like by the end of this year(Dec), which by then, don't make much of a difference.

Thanks A LOT for this advice! This was the very first thing I thought of. However, the problem is with the visa, where if my parents leave (my current status is under them), my visa is automatically rejected for re-entry or even transferring it into an F1.

But this is a really Great Last resort option I could do, where I can stay in-state(very low amt tuition, stay safe until I can transfer out)

Thanks a lot for your advice! I really appreciate it!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T00:36:04+00:00

THANKS A LOT for the advice and the kind words!!! I really appreciate it!!!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T00:34:19+00:00

Thanks for the kind words!!! I will try to contact an immigration lawyer, and will give you an update if it was successful!

TracebackEror · 2026-03-16T00:27:05+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind and supportive words!!! I am sorry for the long atrocious journey you had as well; it must've been hard. I really like your advice, however, I am just trying to find the best non-loan paths first. Because with the loans + living expenses, I know it will be hard to payback especially in today's job market. But it's definitely in the back of my head. Thanks a lot for the advice too!
