hi,

this is to inform all u guyz n' gals who are going to ocean city this summer. The federal government of MD has warned all employers not to hire any person with F1 status, otherwise they'll be charged $1000 for an each F1 workers.
This is not fake. My BOss for whom i worked last summer denied to give me a job this summer because of this reason.

So, If anyone knows anyother place like Ocean City where they hire anyone, than i request you to share the information through this forum.

pls help!!!

.source????

Actually! my boss told me all about it. Last year, he gave me the job knowing that i was an illegal to work outside,I dun know the formal websource.

Just rumor.......Don't scare.

Did you register for your nick after you heard this news? hahahahaha :P

anyways, you may wanna go to estes park, CO or sth. i wouldn't really know but all i can say is: don't fret! as they say, when there's a will, there's a way :-)

g'luck

(for "nautanki"land :P)

Thanks LooTeKuKuR !

I'll think abt that..

Hmm....so that means more people are going to get lost in Estes Park this year. Remember that girl??? Its a nice place to live and work for summer but I doubt it can absorb Nepalese population of Ocean City, MD. Its a small town and is a gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado about 1 hr drive uphill from Boulder, Colorado. And moreover people use their samajik surakshya patra unlike in Ocean City, MD. May be we should find a whole new place. Both of these places were discovered almost a decade ago. I guess times are up for these two places. Lets look out for a new place. Any suggestions???????

Correction->I mean discovered by fellow Nepalese

Go to South padre Island , idont know if you will earn much then OC but it will definitly be a memorable summer .

It's gonna be tough in Estes park this year also.... Colorado rules has gotten tougher. it is 5000 for one unauthorized employee... estes park has only about 100 shops and the safe way where most Nepali worked is not hiring F1s anymore.. used to be days i heard they used to take Nepali passport ray for employment.. gone are those days.. Forget u can find a job in boulder, or denver... too many legal immigrants and no one wants to take risk....
good luckk...may god help everyone yar...

Well I'm not going to OC but a few of my best friends are going with a Work Authorization Card so not only are they going to be on the safe side, they're DEFINITELY going to get jobs as well. I was shocked to hear that a lot of fellow countrymen in places such as Minnesota and Utah have never heard of a work authorization card! It's better to be safer than sorry! With President Bush's approval, the homeland security has already increased its raids all over the U.S. since last year and I'm more than DAMN sure that O.C. is gonna feel the heat this year!
Sadly, for thousands of Nepalese ( especially freshmen and the ones whose campuses are located in rural settings ), O.C. and Estes Park are the primary options to spend summer and work their arses off to pay for college expenses.

.The entire economy of Ocean City depends on the F1 students who work there every year. I can guarantee you all that nothing is going to happen in Ocean City. Not one of you will get in trouble. Summer tourism in Ocean City brings in at least a couple billion dollars in OC every year. The town of Ocean City and the local businesses are never going to let the US government or the state of Maryland to interfere in their business.

I worked in OC for four summers. Every summer I heard the same thing: "They're going to hire only those with work permits. You won't find a job". And yet, I found jobs plenty every year.

Mickthesick.. That is why the US "Imports" russiand, and east europeans to OC each year. Nothing is going to happend to their economy just because nepali students dont go there to work. Its already so hard to find a job due to these legal russians in OC. Keek that in mind.

I worked two summers at Estes Park and two at Ocean City. It was about eight years back and even then there were rumor like this. Every year after spring semester we were scared about the INS raid and stuff but never happened. I hope this is rumor too coz for many F1 students like me who went to college town, summer was the only time to make money for college.

Guys,

The below link might be of help:

just be careful in whatever that you have to do.

Well wisher..

it was good message from the link but if there is any solution let's share

I heard that there are parks likes OC and EP in Alabama and Florida may be Cali too. Both OC and EP and felt that they were being more crowded each year. Neither is anywhere near safe. We all know about OC, and in EP the ‘girl disturbed’ made all that scene last year, and hence, unsafe. Plus, it’s (EP) overcrowded with Nepalis like OC. May be its time to look for other alternatives. Either hit your nearest city, or look for other similar parks (Like OC and EP). Try making new connections if u need to. Usually gas stations are run by Indians or Pakis, but you need contacts to get in and also to find a place to stay. Next in line is transportation. Many hassles, but now I wish I had done that then going to OC or EP. Probably, I would have learnt much more the harder way. Since, you all can’t go to either if you don’t have an existing employment, I would say ‘Networking’ is the key word for all those who will be looking for work this summer especially the new ones. Best of Luck.

dyamn - you are clever- you counter attacked Dimag Kharab with his weapon.All rumours:Do not worry guys,Work hard and make money and do your graduation as early as possible. Good Luck.
