<p>if you don’t have green card you are international even if you applied for green card. A family friend of mine had to apply as international couple years ago cuz she JUST got her green card freshmen year of her college.</p>
<p>Where is your 485 stuck at? My family was like stuck at FBI name check(part of 485) for 2 years!!! (they basically didn’t process it . period. being in efficient cuz they don’t want us to have green card or something and couldn’t have good reason to reject). There is this thing that people go through to basically petition before you sue ( but you don’t actually sue of course >.< something like that) to get them actually look at your files. My mom went through the paper work stuff last year (i’ll need it this year for college this year or i’ll be in the super hard international pool), and we got green cards in 3 month after 2.5 years of waiting for the last step.
Try getting your parent to send emails to senetors first to ask about your green card status?</p>
<p>but with no green card, you are in international</p>
