CASE: Change of Status from F-2 to F-1
CLIENT: Nepalese
LOCATION: Kent, OH
Our client came from Nepal on a valid F-2 visa. Later, she decided to study further in the United States and got admitted to a college. She retained our office for her I-539 Change of Status application from F-2 to F-1.
After retention, we helped our client obtain supporting documents for the Change of Status. We filed the I-539 Change of Status application along with supporting documents to the USCIS on January 6, 2020. In the application, we fully explained her financial ability to pursue her studies in the U.S., and reasons for her studies.
On May 26, 2020, the USCIS issued a Request for Evidence (RFE) asking for a new I-20 record. Our office filed the Response to RFE on June 2, 2020. Eventually, on July 27, 2020, the Change of Status was approved. Our client is now on F-1 and can start her program.
