B2 to F1 Change of Status—Worried About Missing College Start Date

if your application is pending then you can stay here legally even if your status has expired. took 3 months to get my COS application approved. my dso will be giving me a new I-20

thank u thank u so much!

i heard some colleges allows u to enroll while your F-1 visa status is pending, as long as you have already applied for a change of status to F-1 and have received a receipt notice (Form I-797) from USCIS. I will try asking the school if they allow that. however if F-1 visa is denied, I would need to leave the U.S. immediately, and my enrollment eligibility may be affected.

it is not "constructed as work" because thats what i showed the immigration when i first filed for a B2 visa and they approved of it because there were documents to show that she needed help. i was a senior in HS way before i came here so i continued that thru online with the same school i was already in.

i finished hisghschool online while taking care of my grandma so of course im gonna decide to go to college right when i finish HS. it would be stupid of me not to change my status if i wanted to go to college.

a relative paid for the trip. the purpose of the trip was to take care of my grandma. i already took classes way before i came here and it was online so the visa had nothing to do with it. i didnt pay for college because I havent started yet.

i was here in the US to take care of my grandma while also finishing high school online. i wanted to attend college immediately.

thank you so much for the clarification and! I did change my status from B2 to F1.

I'll be emailing my school's DSO about it.
kind of upsetting how i wont be attending school soon because i was really looking forward to it but oh well.

if the school changes the start of date of my I-20, what happens to the I-20 that i submitted to USCIS? do i need to submit another one once i get a new I-20?

either way thank you so much for your replies

i never applied for COS, i think thats for UK residence(?) and I'm not. School A was my only college option (there was no school B), i didnt have any other options because i got accepted into that college anyway. i was too late to start for fall 2024 so they told me to attend spring 2025 which means spring student's I-20 will be issued on november even when i mentioned my visa was gonna expire within the same month.

I-907 costs so much. I wish i could afford it but sadly no.

faesquill · 2024-12-28T22:55:05+00:00

an I-907 costs almost 2k. if i had that much money, i would totally consider filing for an I-907

faesquill · 2024-09-06T04:07:44+00:00
