The OP can pursue a trade school or other technical skill set at an accredited school in Jamaica. Instead of having to wait 4 years (or longer) to get a Bachelors, they could study and gain employment in a trade such as welding, coding or other technical skill that can be studied in a year or two. My point is most university degrees from overseas don't have the accreditation to transfer to a US employer, but I can see a trade or skill transferring, as well as work experience. Instead of being negative on the OP, let's try to be constructive on how they can overcome this public charge denial. I can't imagine going through this process only to be hit with a denial in the final stages... And with the new rules coming out we will see similar cases more frequently.
