Tammy2,
Lost job, so tried to change status from H to F. Was out of status when I filed for the F status. They sent an RFE asking for more information. I replied. They were not satisfied, sent a refusal letter saying I was accruing illegal presence in the US and I might be subject to a 3 or 10 year bar if I did not leave within 180 days and I left the country within 15 days. There was no notice to appear (btw, what is that ?)
I plan to be back, but this time on a valid visa and hope to file for a GC sometime in the near future.
Thanks
