Any Change of Status to F-1 applicants here?

[harika414]

If you are applying for change of status to f1 in USA,You dont need india residence proof.
And the Bank statement is to show who is sponsering you for your education and to show if you have enough funds for going to college/school(College/school fees). You dont need any residence cerificate from India for change of status from h4 to f1 (for changing from h4 to F1 in USA).
I think you know rest all required documents. Message me if you need any help further!!!

Thanks for quick reply praveena. My International advisor asked for residence proof submission because F1 students do need to prove that they have the intent to return back to home country after studies and OPT so for that we need to show some residence proof. May be u did not submit this but, our international advisor asked me to send it.
Thanks

Yeah.I dint submit submit that. Our international student advisor dint ask me to submit. Instead she asked me write a letter for converting from H1 to F1, which should have the reason for converting and have the intent to return back to home country for studies and OPT.

Those of us who have already submitted the I-20,need to get anothet I-20 from the school and make an appointment with USCIS to get it stamped. OFcourse, this stamp is not mandatory and only those of us who want to have the stamp have to go ahead.

You should read the FAQ's in the link I sent you, and please remember that you are NOT going to receive your I-20 back.

Could you please send the link again. I got I 787A without I-20. I do not have that much time to wait.

Guys, Can someone please help here. Where is it mentioned that USCIS no longer sends I20 along with I-797? Thanks for your help.

Thanks

Hi, is there anyone who got the approval after August 22 (the latest that I can read in this forum). I have applied on June 28th to VSC and still waiting for the approval. It will be very helpful.
