DeAnna and Jorge

You are welcome! I hope everything goes smoothly!

When I had to send in my proof of assets, I sent my tax returns for the last three years, check stubs from my employer and a letter of an offering of employment because I hadn't been at the job long, and I wanted to prove they offered me a full time position. If you have anything else in bank accounts or anything that can be converted into quick assets within the year, you can send them proof of that as well. 

I disagree, and for proof I'd cite opening your door and looking outside. 
 
This is not a good time to be an immigrant--legal or otherwise--and especially so if your skin isn't white. Sorry, this is just a universal truth right now. 
 
OP, I'm afraid you have few options. Keep looking for a lawyer but understand there is likely not much they can do for you. 

You can work while you are in F-1 status. You can either work for the school (which I did while I was a student) or you can apply for CPT (Curricular Practical Training). I've heard that a lot of people who do CPT end up being sponsored a H-1B visa by the employer once the F-1 status ends.
I really don't mean to be rude but you seem to be attacking OP right out of the gate...It's not our job to determine if the document is fraudulent or not, that's up to USCIS (and OP says they have already found that out)...it's our job to give advice to other people with visa related issues.

I completely understand how you feel! My husband came here from Cuba about 8 months ago. He complained a lot when he first arrived. I wanted him to take a year to get into school in an intensive ESL program so he could learn English and have better opportunities here. He didn’t like that idea and thought I was trying to control him and complained about it every day. So I found him a job. We live Downtown Chicago, so he got a job bussing tables and was making about 1200 every two weeks. He complained non stop about that job. Oh it was hard work and he hated the people… blah blah blah. It made me very angry because I felt like that is good money! You are lucky to make that much bussing tables. I felt like I should have helped him get a really crappy job, so when he had a good one, he would be appreciative. So then I helped him get a different job and he was still complaining about that. Then there was the fact that he has about 100 women friends from Cuba and some who have immigrated over here and he feels it is ok to be messaging and talking with them on the phone. That is not what I am accustomed to. Where I am from, married men do not have other women that they are talking to constantly. So we have had many fights about that. I have compromised somewhat and he has had to compromise a lot. My husband hasn’t complained about things like the food and the city. He loves Chicago. But honestly I have felt just like you feel a few times, like should I just cut my losses?... When I feel that way, I have an honest talk with him, and let him know that this behavior is nothing like he talked when he was in Cuba, and if he doesn’t want to be together we can just end it. So far, he has always worked to try to improve things and we are still together. I try to be understanding about the adjustment of a new place, but come on. Also my guy is the same way with never believing anything I say and always wanting to hear it from another person. I find myself to be intelligent and knowledgeable so I find that very insulting. I have gotten into the habit of sending him lots of internet proof on any topic that he has a question. That way he can’t question my judgement. Good luck to you! Have you tried talking to him about your concerns? I hope you are able to work everything out.

I think that job recruiters have no need for your SSN. To be on the safe side, I wouldn't provide that information. I work in HR and we do not need anyone's SSN until they have been officially offered the position. Once they have given you an offer, it is normal to give your SSN for a background check and I9 verification.

Wow that is weird! Did you try calling them to see what the problem is with the documents you sent in? I would think that would be sufficient proof.

I hope you receive your approval soon as well! Thanks!!
