If I am a college student about to graduate, is there any way I can get a work permit?
I am about to graduate college and would like to get a job here in the US, however I am not a legal resident nor citizen. Is there any way I can apply for a work permit? My parents brought me here when I was just a little girl and they have helped me pay for my education; I pay full out of state tuition out of pocket

I presume that since you were brought to this country as a little girl by your parents that you legally are entitled to be in this country with an approved green card. If so, then there is no need for you to get a work permit from the INS. However to be sure, I suggest that you go down to the nearest INS office and inquire about the need for you to obain a work permit or not.
