My girlfriend is an international student El Salvador. She is studying in the USA (California, to be precise,) and due to budget cuts for her fashion courses in her school, she was unable to advance this semester, and had to apply for an extension.
She now needs two more semesters to complete her requirements, but was only granted 6 months. She is quite convinced there's absolutely no way she can get the extra 6 months without leaving the country for a half year at least.
I am a US citizen, so I'm not familiar with how these things work; but I can't help but to question her certainty, as it seems as though it would be odd for them to just tell her to pack up and leave with nothing after all the hard work she put in to get her degree.
Can something be done to allow her to stay the extra 6 months needed to get her degree, or will she be forced to go back and re-apply? Does her school have the ability to aid her in any way, shape, or form?
She had a conversation with her International Adviser in the past, and she made it sound as though she is at the mercy of her embassy, and if they don't give her the time she needs, there's nothing that can be done. I, however, find that to be quite harsh and unfair.
I'd love any and all help possible!
Thank you so much for your time!
