I\'m helping a friend who is getting laid off. We\'re planning to file a change of status from H1 to B2. If you have been in similar situation, and you filed I 539, please help with the following questions:
a. Did you need to hire an attorney?
b. In the instructions of the form, "Who may file", it does not specifically list H1 to B2. Is this OK?
c. In Part 1 of the form, there is a column for "Current Non-Immigrant Status" and "Expires on mm/dd/yyyy". What should be the expiry date when one is laid off?
d. In Part 3 of the form, "I request that status be extended until MM/DD/YYYY". How much time should be requested here?
e. What additional documents need to be attached?
Thanks.
