<p>PinotNoir - if sebas9232 is an international applicant, he/she cannot be a NMF. That is only open to citizens and those non-citizens who fall into the immigration categories that qualify for federal aid.</p>
<p>sebas9232 - Is your Green Card actually in process right now? If so, has your lawyer given you any indication as to when you can expect it? Whether or not it is worth it to you to take a Gap Year/Semester while you wait out the paperwork depends on a number of factors. You need to find out what your options are in your current immigration status.</p>
<p>Wishing you all the best!</p>
