As an international student in the US, I've always known that my time here was dependent on me, well, being a student. I am graduating in May with a Bachelor's degree. I applied to grad schools hoping to just be able to keep on going with my schooling and stay here in the longer term.
This week all the decisions have been coming in. Some were nice - individualized letters telling me that they thought I was a wonderful candidate but I just wouldn't fit within their projects - whereas some others were just automatized "we regret to inform you that we cannot offer you admission." And while yes, it's been absolutely wrecking my self-esteem, it also complicates the future with Jason.
Things have been tense between us recently, probably because of the amount of stress we've both been under, but I worry that this is going to be the thing that breaks us. I can't keep going on like this.
Right now though I am really numb, working on auto pilot. I haven't fully processed this yet. I don't know how to.

Is going to grad school the only option for you if you want to stay in the US? Is there any way you could find a job after you graduate and stay here on a work visa?
I really hope things get better for you soon
