My friend is in their 20s and has spent this summer in America in some program that allows them to be here legally, as long as they are sponsored and working. Which is what they had been doing, and still want to do, but the program that sponsors them will only sponsor them if they DON'T work in a big city (I have no idea why).
So they tried to find acceptable work, but finally, out of desperation, they took a (low paying) job in a big city. Now that their sponsor has found out, they are saying they will pull the sponsorship a month early, which sucks, because my friend already paid for their plane ticket home and can't cancel it, nor can they afford a new one.
So it looks like, unless you guys know something we don't, that they will, completely unintentionally, stay here non-sponsored for a month. My basic question is, should they talk to the US government about this? Is that safe? Will it put them on some sort of list they wouldn't otherwise be on? Or, is it better just to wait out the last month and hope nothing comes of it? Thank you!
