The law in South Carolina is very clear for state supported schools. The difference with other international players attending SC state supported colleges is that they are on F-1 Student VISAs which they received through their native country. In order to get a F-1 VISA you must leave the United States and get it from your native country. There is no guarantee you would get back in the United States, especially since you were living here so long with out any type of VISA. This will be very difficult for him and he needs to be working on it now. The SC law states that no student can receive any type of money or even be accepted at a state supported college without the proper VISA if you are a non-citizen. Every college has an international student office, and they are required to have all the necessary paperwork that the US requires.
