What do you do when you're basically trapped in a country (in which you're not a citizen)?

Question

I bought a one-way flight to Norway awhile ago. I have a home here, a boyfriend, but I can't get a job because I don't have permission to do so. I want to go home (back to the states) but I have very little money and there's no one with enough money to help me fund the trip. What can I do?

Answer 1

find someone you know who might lend you the money that you need.

Answer 2

go to your embassy or consulate, they will likely be able to help you.

Answer 3

Find a church and tell them you need some help. Be sure to pay them back.

Answer 4

stop eating and start saving money for a plane ticket!

or call your friends and loved ones in the US and ask them to send you money for the ticket.

get a job that will pay you under the table

plead your case to the norwegian government and see if they'll at least grant you temporary status to work there

Answer 5

Report to their immigration authorities and ask to be deported. They will send you back and usually give you a bill for the flight that you are usually asked to pay back, or the bill will become payable if you return there.
