odion Posted August 24, 2017 Report Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hi, I am in a sort of quagmire. I applied for COS from H1-B to F-1 back in December 2016. This July, they have asked for RFE which I already sent and received their confirmation. However, I am still waiting on their decision but my class is starting soon. Given the delay and the urgency, can I ask for Expedited Criteria based processing under Emergency Situation clause? I am getting into a financially tenuous situation and the classes will start soon. Don't they qualify as emergency situation? Thank you Link to comment

But if I move out to Canada, then should I apply for re-entry into the US under what category? Since my COS is under consideration, do I wait till they reach a decision? Thanks much. Link to comment

No. You can get your F-1 stamped and come back. Link to comment
