Dula Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Hi, My Wife is currently on OPT (she finished Associate Degree), we were planning for her to go to F2 (since I am F1 currently on steam OPT) but our DSO said it might take up to 12 months and in that waiting period she will be out of status (not sure if this is true). Her OPT is ending this June 2019. It looks like our best solution is for her to stay on F1. (We do not want to leave country and come back.) Now my question is, can she do another Associate Degree as F1 or she needs to do Bachelor Degree? Also, if she apply for F2, can she still have F1 just in case change of status takes longer then expected? Thank you very much for your reply. Regards. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 She can apply for a COS to F2 in early June and can then wait for approval. She will be legal as long as you will be in legal F1 status. Link to comment
Dula Posted February 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Is this true? My school DSO advisor said that she will be out of status since she can wait up to 12 months. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 She can wait as long as your F1 is valid if it takes that long to get the COS approved. Link to comment
Dula Posted February 23, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Thank you all for the answer. But just in case I think she will take one semester as F1 while wait for COS. Which I am amusing it is possible? Link to comment
