Any Change of Status to F-1 applicants here?

[nehs]

any one who has filed in the past 1-2 months? We could track our timeslines and be in touch with each other.
I filed mine at the Vermont Service center and it is a month now. The case is under initial review.

Any other applicants?

It was 3,5 months a week ago, but since April 30th they have new processing times and it's back to 2,5 months
I'm still waiting for decision, in should come at the end of this month or the beginning of June.

Hi
I applied for COS from H-4 to F-1 on Feb 16, 2012 at Vermont service center. The status shows Initial Review although it is past 2.5 months. I am a bit concerned now.
Can someone share how long it took for you to get your COS approved at Vermont Service center?
Thanks

You have been waiting almost 3 months and should get some update anytime soon. If I was you I would call them on May 16th if there is no answer yet.
Good luck!

When I saw the processing time as 3.5 , I was also disappointed. But, thanks to you, for the good news!
It has been 6 weeks for me now.

Have you also applied for a COS to F-1?

Yes, I came here on B2 visa to prepare for TOEFL and took part time english classes. I said at the airport that I'm planning to apply for school from here and expected to get "Prospective Student" stamp on my I-94, but that didn't happen. Do you think they make notes of that somewhere else in their system?
