Shrestha Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I am about to file for COS for myself as my H1B expires 09/30/2014. I am wondering If I can start my school (on October 1st)based on receipt of I-539 or I have to wait for my case to be approved? Link to comment
jairichi Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Some schools accept a receipt but some do not. You need to talk to your school. Link to comment
Shrestha Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Some more clarification - Is it possible that I can start classes on 10/01 (A day after my H1B Expires) even when my Change of Status Application is still under review by USCIS? Link to comment
Shrestha Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 I have also spoken to an immigration attorney who told me to - fill out my I-539 by myself and mail it to USCIS - & not to use USCIS ELIS system. I a told the process will be faster If I mail my COS application. Is that true? Has anyone heard of experiences where it was faster to NOT to use USCIS ELIS? Link to comment
