Hi,
My friends wife is here on a F1 VISA and she's been attending school for over a year. Just a couple of days ago they were notified with some shocking news by the school that she has been out of status for the past 3 months..
Digging into this issue a little deeper, he found out that an official from their International Students Office had erroneously deleted her record from the INS SEVIS database which led to the cancellation of her VISA. As luck may have it, this offical passed away a month later and his replacement realised this issue and notified my friends wife..
The University has accepted full responsibility for this issue but have said that there is no way for them to recitify their mistake thru SEVIS. So the onus is on my friend and his wife to straighten this out with INS..
I was wondering if anybody has had any similar experiences. My friend lives in the Greater Boston Area and we are looking for a good lawyer..
Please help.. As you can imagine we are getting quite worried and panicky..
