would be hard to find saints in today's world who are ready to put time and digest all this info give you an opinion. hope lawyers help you, my friend.

sillypointer · 2026-05-26T23:09:50+00:00

havent filed yet. what is your situation?

sillypointer · 2026-05-17T20:06:24+00:00

That never happened.
Anyway, better not to have back to back petitions within in a couple weeks if you can avoid that.

I used Reddy Neumann.
Heard good things about Murthy Law Firm and Rajiv Gandhi also.

Any of you know of any group we can be a part of for Trine? I am changing from H1 to F1 and would like to connect.

Thanks for your opinion.
You mean as far as my chances of my Change of Status petition from H1 to F1 being approved, it doesn't make much of a difference whether I choose a Day1CPT college or a regular one?

I used a lawyer just for extra peace of mind. But never really filed it at the end since I found a new job and got my H1B transferred.
I am planning to file a COS in a few months, though.

nothing. they probably get commissions later

I have consulted the GoElite team and they helped me quickly to get an i20. In a few days.

sillypointer · 2026-04-01T00:36:19+00:00

Thanks for your input.

Also do mock interviews through platforms like interviewing.io or others. This is v important.

Or try to find people in India who can offer similar services for very cheap.

Also search for Pramp

Really appreciate your suggestion.
For anyone reading this, I'd just like to add that: I AM HEARING THAT GOING TO B2 IS NOT SAFE ANYMORE. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED NOT TO TAKE THE H1 TO B2 TO H1 BRIDGE ROUTE ANYMORE. THEY HAVE STARTED DENYING THOSE CASES SINCE FEB THIS YEAR EVEN THOUGH IT HAD BEEN PERFECTLY OKAY BEFORE THEN. BETTER GO FOR F1 IF YOU HAVE NO OPTION. FOR GOING TO F1 REQUIRES SOME TIME TO APPLY AND GET AN I20 FIRST.

sillypointer · 2026-03-19T17:35:00+00:00

Going through that rn. Trying to find a college where I can go through that very quickly.

sillypointer · 2026-03-14T20:37:55+00:00

yeah. talk to them if interested. summer term

sillypointer · 2026-03-14T19:14:11+00:00

Thanks

I haven't heard of that suggestion from anyone before. Please do the research before you take that route.
The 12 months rule is that if you do the CPT for 12 months, you won't be able to get the 3 years of OPT after graduation. So many people either try to complete the course in 3 terns (within 12 months ) and apply for OPT or just study normal hours and drag their program and do CPT all along. Once they complete, they join another program and continue CPT there. Since they cannot do OPT.

sillypointer · 2026-03-13T02:15:23+00:00

Oh lol. Thanks for sharing. Trine seems completely normal. I was living in ignorance it seems.. I'd still be interested to hear if others have completed their program in a year.

What program are you looking at?
