Hello all,
I have received a RFE recently from USCIS after applying for change of status from b1/b2 to f1 via I-539
in the RFE USCIS has asked me plenty of questions which has gave me the doubt that they are trying to find a way to reject my Change of Status.
RFE is asking for following:
1. NEW I-20 with new start term date with same SEVIS number
2. Financial Support documents bank statement, paystups and sponsor letter i-134 etc. (Sponsor info)
3. Reason given for obtaining the B-1 Visa at US Consulate (It was medical reason visiting my father) Provide proof of tourism in chronological order and cities/towns visited
4. A detailed chronological list with (exact to dates) of the activities engaged since in USA, towns and tourist attractions visited (Provide documentary proof)
5. Explanation how or from whom i heard about the school and what made me apply for admission to the school.
6. Provide documentary evidence of the day you applied for admission to the school.
7. Statements regarding the reason and justification for returning to school at this time and how would the schooling benefit me to return to home country.
8. Submit proof for all residential addresses in USA, telephone bills, utility bills and receipts since arrival in states.
______________
* Now its asking me for Statements regarding the reason and justification for returning to school at this time and how would the schooling benefit me to return to home country.
* Submit justification for remaining in the U.S to study instead of institution in home country.
So now, I am here not to ask for answers to the RFE, ofcourse I will provide them as suited for me but I want to ask how do I approach this RFE? It seems to be very negative with so many questions and statements, seems like they are not convinced that I am a bonafide visitor going to become a bonafide student and want to see if there was a preconceived intent but I have not violated my status in anyway.
So, my question is what are the chances of approval? I applied 3.5 months later while in usa and I had no intention to study before but after visiting university campus near where I lived that then I decided to approach a degree.
I do have an attorney but she seems to be not very helpful, sadly they do not take much interest in RFE's.
I would appreciate if anyone can share their experience or tell me a template or a sample that I can follow? Like an order or any tips that could help me get this approval.
