Guys,
I have been hearing all kind of rumors that we (intrernational students) won't be able to work in Oklahoma state after November. How true is that?????? I know we all work even though we are not allowed. It don't matter it's in cash or check. I have heard that cops are given the asme power as an INS and have authority to deport. So, have u guys have heard any further news about this rumor?

I worked in Oklahoma for last 6 month at a gas station and just moved to Dallas. A girl working at a Fastfood was caught by INS member. Rumor was going on among many students, but i think its not like as u said. US govt won't just target to one state i think. Keep going working guys.

I have heared that Oklahoma State has passed a bill about this.

really..................where's the source. ?

i am from oklahoma and the International Student Service of my college has forwarded the message to all the international students.

wtf get a life that chick is already out on a bond of $10,000.

its not only in Oklahoma and or Georgia.
every states are being forced to implement Social Security verification for employment. it will be stricter.

Yes, one of my freinds was caught by cops while working in a fast-food @ Oklohama and released after 22 days with a bond of $15000. It was his good luck that they didn't deport him to Nepal. Case is still open. Guys, you should be wary, anyway.

guys lemme juss let u guys know that bidur was nabbed because he was working in a gaming parlor...not a fastfood joint. and it was not immigration related at first...he and his boss got in for illegal gambling... they had slot machines without a liscence. and the gurl ...that stoopid gurl told a regular customer that she was working usuing a fake SSN, and just her luck she happened to be OK city deputy sherrif, and notified INS...

now heres wut really happened..
