chikz Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hello, I have received H1B, but my change of status from student to H1 got denied. The visa granted is only for 1 year..I had two options either go India for stamping or file for MTR-reopen your case. I chose the MTR as their decision of change status denial was based on that I had not submitted all the RFE documents, but in fact I had. The question is - How long would it take to receive the response? While I am waiting for the response, how long can I stay in USA? Is there any time limit ?? please guide me on what should I do now?? Currently I am still maintaining my student status, but I am going to get graduated soon and my I-20 is expiring too. Thank you Chikz Link to comment

Is there any time limit ?? Their is no time limit for this process and MTR doesn't provide you any legal status. Link to comment
chikz Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Yes. That's a reason I am continuing to maintain my student status. But it would help me if I knew if there was any rule/law about the maxium stay with a valid student status. Link to comment

Falljob Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hi Guys, I am in exact same situation as my H1 got approved but COS Denied from F1 to H1 reason is not CPT issue actually USCIS did not understand school policy regarding full course of study so its clear case no violation from my end or from school end. I am trying to file MTR (Reopen/reconsider) not appeal. Just want to know how long it take in you case last year to get MTR reopen? Any response will appreciate. Link to comment
rahul412 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 actually USCIS did not understand school policy regarding full course of study so its clear case no violation from my end or from school end. What is that policy which USCIS couldn't understand?? So you were working in CPT?? Link to comment
