jairichi Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 You will not get a F1 when a GC petition is filed. Link to comment
rajju077 Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 You will not get a F1 when a GC petition is filed. I don't think this is correct. I got my F1 even when a GC petition was filed. Link to comment
JoeF Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 I don't think this is correct. I got my F1 even when a GC petition was filed. Then you got lucky. For an F1, the person has to show that he or she has a home abroad that the person does not intend to abandon. INA 101(a)(15)(F). With an I-130 or I-140, the person has shown immigration intent, i.e., the intent to abandon the foreign home. Link to comment

To study Thanks Nikita Huh? On H4, you don't get an I-140. Your husband's employer can eventually file an I-140 for him. And if your sister is sponsoring you, that means she would file an I-130 for you. With an I-130, you have immigration intent, and that means an F1 wouldn't be possible anymore. Link to comment
