This is in regards to my wife's F1 status.
To briefly summarize, she was doing her MBA since summer '04 and had been issued the I-20 by the school. This semester she had taken a break since we had to move out of state. As she had some time before her next semester starts she had planned to go home ( India ) for a month and when she had called the graduate school they mentioned that for some mistake of theirs the I-20 got terminated in Summer '04 itself.
They also mentioned there were few other students who had been in the same situation and they agree it was their mistake.
The school staff were suggesting that going to India for a month would be perfect and they would sort things for her by providing a new I-20. At this point we are more concerned that was she illegal for the past 9 months and if so what would be the right step to take.
I am currently on H1 B and how long will it take for transfer to H4 B. Is this the right thing at this point ?
Thanks a lot
