Gautham Pai Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Hello, My Change of status from H4 to F1 is approved on 12th Feb and F1 status applicable from Apr 6th 2014 onwards. Due to personal emergency I had travelled to India between March 1st - March 15th I Traveled back to US on H4 visa. As F1 is applicable only from Apr 6th. I can see that My new I-94 number got changed with that of I-797A approval notice. Do you see any issue here? is I need to inform USCIS about this? Thanks Kumar Link to comment

rahul412 Posted March 21, 2014 Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Thanks Jairichi. So I will be on F1 status from Apr 6th onwards? Which I-94 I will be on (for SSN) ? You don't need SSN for F1 unless and until you have campus job. Link to comment
Gautham Pai Posted March 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2014 Jairichi and t75, Is I will be on F1 status from Apr 6th Onwards? Thanks Kumar Link to comment
jairichi Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Jairichi and t75, Is I will be on F1 status from Apr 6th Onwards? Thanks Kumar Yes, that is correct. Link to comment
t75 Posted March 22, 2014 Report Share Posted March 22, 2014 Since you had F-1 I94 in hand before you departed, you are OK. Had it not come before departure, you would have been assumed to have abandoned the COS and would need stamping or new COS. Timing is important. Link to comment
Gautham Pai Posted March 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Yes, Timing really matters here. Thanks a lot Jairichi and t75 for the timely response and support. Link to comment
F1struggle Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Kumar - I am wondering if you needed a visa for entry? Or did you have a valid H4 visa for entry? Link to comment
