Unfinished college, transcripts on hold, iffy residence status on file in college

[Nie 6]

1. On the i821d, Part 1 down in the Education section: I have graduated from High school and attended 3 non-consecutive semesters in college, my last attendance date being the end of fall 2010. What would I put for 18-20? For 18, I have "High school gradute", for 19 I had put my high school, and for 20 I had thought to put the last day I attended college (end of fall 2010). Is that right?
   
2. In conjunction with that. I owe the school money and am currently trying to pay it off (hence the reason for not attending currently). For this reason I can't request my transcripts. Is there any way to get unofficial transcripts (I'm really unfamiliar with how those work so please explain) or if I told them my reasons, would they release it?
   
3. And final college question: When I had applied for the school, I believe but am not totally sure, I had said I was a citizen but didn't give SS. On my student info section on the website, all I see is "Residence: Non-International" Not sure if that has anything to do with it, and I'm quite sure what status they have me as or even how to find out. Will this pose a problem?
   

Thanks so much for any help! This is my first post and I have many many questions I've been collecting on post-its. And as I am not familiar with forums all that much, here's a (probably) stupid question: am I only allowed one topic per forum post? Or may I ask all my questions in one? I suppose the the former is correct?

Thanks again everyone! I really appreciate all your help and once I get all my forms squared away and submited, I'm gonna be scraping up some money to donate to all the awesome people that have been invaluable to me, both here and over at finding atlas (atlasdiy on youtube)! God bless! ^^

1) My suggestion would be to contact an immigration attorney and ask them what your current school status would be.

2) Call your college and ask them if they can give you a transcript, official or unofficial, tell them that it is required and that you need it. If they don't want to, ask them for a letter stating that you have attended that college from date X to date X.

3) When I went to apply for college I also didn't put any SSN and I was told that I wasn't obligated to add one but that I could add one later on if I wanted to. Maybe you can do the same.

1. I will put some college. But call an attorney to be sure.

2.I am pretty sure weather you haven't paid off all your tuition or not, your college will release your transcript if you pay them a certain amount FOR THE TRANSCRIP. I believe it's roughly about $20. I don't see a problem with your college to release your transcrip if you were paying off the tuition regularly.

3. I don't see a problem with that status unless you provided a fake ssn. But a fake ssn seems like not your case. It just looks like the school have made your status in that way so you can pay a less tuition. International students pay more tuition.
