What to expect ?

[Paradox101 0]

My Uncle had applied for my dad and Us, under the F4 Sibling visas.
It has been a long wait, and i have forgotten any information that i had once known that is relevant to this immigration process.
However, yesterday i submitted the "Choice of Address and Agent Form(DS-261)".
I recently graduated form a private university in EEE (Electerical & Electronic Engineering), and i am now looking for a job.
I am preparing for my GRE as well, and i was thinking about the student visa until about yesterday.
But this DS-261 came as a shock.
Now, once me and my family go to USA, we will be completely broke, after paying all the expenses involved in this transition.
So what are the prospects of getting a financial help in order to do my Masters Degree in USA, or getting a job.
Any advice on how to plan from here on.

Hi,

A green card holder can access college financial aid to go to school. Some of it will be grants that you do not have to pay back. Some will be loans that you will have to pay back.

Most likely, you will need to live in a state for 1 year before being eligible for in-state tuition. If you do not meet the 1 year residency requirement, then you will pay 3x or 4x as much for out-of-state tuition.

Your chances of a job depends on your work experience, education, your persistent, English skills, personality, etc. There are so many factors that it's impossible to tell your prospect of a job.

If the job is working in a restaurant with people from your country, then it's relatively easy to find these jobs.

For an EE job, no one can tell you your prospects.

Best of luck.
