State residency rules often require substantial documentation of presence in the state, with evidence like state ID or driver’s license. They also likely require US citizenship or permanent residency (possibly also allowing for immigrant visas as well). If you are a recent unmarried high school graduate, you are likely to be seen as a “dependent” student, so the residency of a parent in the state would also be needed.
Some states allow for unauthorized immigrants, but typically limited to those brought in as children; the criteria in that case often includes graduating high school in the state after sufficient school attendance in the state.
Companies don’t have to be on the e-verify system to want to see proof of work authorization.
You can open a company without proof of legal residence…but you can’t work for it without work authorization. If you’re talking about a basically informal under the table business like a cleaning company or something sure, but then I’m not sure why you need to get the world’s most expensive university degree first.
Look, I get that you’re only 18 and you’re tying yourself in knots trying to make this work in your head, but you seem to have placed a lot of faith in bad information.
I suppose all cases of undocumented individuals existing in the States is immigration fraud. Nonetheless many of them figure out how to go to school and work here, and there is support for whatever pathways they need to take in academia. As far as what I’m “defrauding”, it doesn’t appear I will really be taking anything from this country; only spending lots of money in it and probably banned at some point
But if it works to put in an SSN that’s not mine, so long as the system accepts it, I’m willing to take whatever comes with that. Assuming the admissions office doesn’t run the SSN and find the name (and age I guess) doesnt match mine. It seems that is much more of a risk when FAFSA and money and other federal orgs get involved
Nope, immigration fraud is deliberately misrepresenting something in order to obtain (or attempt to obtain) an immigration benefit.
You seem intent on ignoring advice and preferring to come up with various ways to break the law and engage in fraud. That is not what this forum is for.
That does not work. You will have to show a valid student visa to your college when you arrive. I note that will be after you paid in full for the semester. So, you will have no visa and will lose that money when they tell you can’t attend college there.
It sounds incredibly risky and hard to me…but there may be non profits out there…I think they probably focus on kids who came as young children though.
I will note that both of those links are aimed at undocumented children who have been through the US high school system. As pointed out above, those circumstances can be quiet different to OP’s.
Alright but again why? They’ll hear my accent and request a visa? US citizens don’t have to present a birth certificate or passport upon arrival, nor in the application process, as far as I can tell from the 5 or so application terminals I’ve gone through so far. If I just show up like any other student how would they know I’m foreign?
Agree, I think it is very different too. but they may be able to point them in the right direction (which is likely that this is impossible and a terrible idea!)
