How can you tell that you are reinstated into a status? Does paying the $1000 reinstate your status? I thought when you get H1 the first time INS approves both H1 and change of status (from F1); if there was a status gap H1 can be approved but change of status should have not be approved? I am confused now.
No 1000 is for 245(i). I got reinstated when I was on F-1 status itself and I have a letter for INS about that. INS for some reason does not check/care for status when filing H1 and up untill 485 they donot check. At 485 they ask proof.
2. INS only asked my first & second H1 and my wife\'s first H4 & second H4 to prove I was staying in the Us with legal status, before I started working for my current employer.
Could you please tell us what the INS RFE letter said? Did it say explain why you needed to get F-1 re-instatement, or since you\'ve got re-instatement you are not eligible for adjustment of status unless you pay $1000.
