This might be better off in the Visa section, I'm not sure...I'll see what you guys think first.
In a nutshell, this is my situation. I just finished an MA in the UK last month. Originally, my plan was to stay for my PhD - but the money situation didn't work out (as it does). So I decided to come back to the US and teach for a year or two, then go back and do my PhD. Problem is - the school I was to teach at is/was in New Orleans. Ain't gonna happen now. SO, new plan, stay here in New York at my parent's house for a year, save money, and go back for my PhD in September, supplimentling with loans if I have to (what's a little more debt?)
This is my question - my student visa is still good through the end of February 2006. Do I (a) apply to get it extended, or (b) just apply for a new one in September? I more than likely won't be heading to the UK to live again until September. Which would be easier?
