CASE: Change of Status from H-1B to F-1

CLIENT: Filipina

Our client has been on H-1B status for many years and has worked as a data architect in the United States.

This year, she decided to pursue an advanced accounting proficiency program in the United States and got admission.

She contacted our office in mid-July of this year to change her status from H-1B to F-1.

On July 15, 2014 our firm was retained for the Change of Status. On July 25, 2014, we filed the I-539 Change of Status for our client with supporting documents including her I-20, SEVIS fee receipt, and recent pay stubs from her employer.

On September 8, 2014 the Change of Status was approved. Our client is now on F-1 and can start her accounting program soon.
