I have exactly the same worries. What if application is approved after school starts? Does the new I 94 automatically defer to the next term? I doubt since school starts at differnt times, how does CIS know when is the next program start date? then we will really be in the middle of nowhere...

Hi pvkby, 1) What's the possible way to keep full-time untile I get F1 status? The school is in different city as the job, not possible to commute. 2)Where is the 30 day grace period come from? I heard there is no grace period at all. If there is 30 day grace period, I think i will be OK...

Hi Repenzel, Thanks for the reply. Can you give me the link to the USCIS site that specifies that?

sreedharan, What's your Receipt date? Did you apply through Vermont? Did they ask you to any additional information? I'm changing to F1 too, still pending, wondering when I'm going to quit the job...

sumesh11, can you clarify on 2nd OPT? Is that true only the person goes to the higher degree can he get a 2nd OPT? e.x., graduate from Bachelor's, get OPT, then go to Master's, get another OPT. But if go to Master's first, get OPT, then go to 2nd Master, or go to a Bachelor's, cannot get...

I think I got an idea what does Bi-specialization mean? start in April there are lots of transfers of I140 to Vermont. That's one reason it slows down. Is it possible you send me a email to my inbox through this website? thanks

Why do you need to pack and leave when the application is pending? Does H1 and H4 can go to school full-time while the application is pending? the only thing your wife cannot do is to get paid by the assistantship.

I think the speed difference depends on the luck. Some officers are faster, some are a little busier with other cases. If you think it is slow because of H1 processing, seems they are going to keep busy for some time, there are still advanced degree H1 to be filled up.

I saw cases with RD May 24th got approved in July 20. But there are cases at the end of March that are still pending. Two years ago, I539 was prcocessed with 10 day wait. Now it could become 4 months. What a difference! So what is bi-specialization? Why do you expect the processing will...

I applied COS to F1 in early June to Vermont. There is not any news yet. I have some questions. 1) When school starts in Sept, and if the application is still pending, can I quit the job and go to school full-time at the end of August? 2) In the worst case, if later application is denied...

Vermont service center is really slow this year. I saw last year's data. It is only one month processing time for I539 listed. Now it is almost 4 months this year. But last update there is a big proceed to April 30. Now it comes about 3 months. Still very slow compared to one month of last...
