judas Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Hi, I am an Indian student , I am currently on F-1 Visa, just completed my masters degree and am already working full time for an empployer. I am on OPT which ends on May 19th 2106. I was booked for DUI on Feb 14th 2016, I applied for OPT STEM extension in on Feb 16th, I also received an email from Chennai consulate telling my Visa was revoked. I received a letter from USCIS today asking for the following documents. 1) A statement from the designated school official(DSO) attesting that you are in lawful F-1 status and that you have not violated your F1-Status 2) A court Disposition of the Arrest on February 14, 2016. these should be submitted before July 1st 2016 I have two questions here, I thought DUI will not affect my F1-status am I right? my DSO would be able to give that to me? and second, my court arraignment date was April 7th, next court date is set for May12th. My Criminal attorney told my I wont be able to get disposition of Arrest till case ends which might take till July or August and may be still later. What documents should I send USCIS now? Please help me, Link to comment

century Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Looks like USCIS is doing random background checks even for visa extensions in the US :( Link to comment
century Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 You have to give certified copy off arrest report and immigration lawyer memorandum of law letter Link to comment
srik6894 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 in which state were you arrested? is it a criminal offense in that state? were you fingerprinted during the arrest? Link to comment
GNH Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Give the USCIS the DSO letter and the letter from the attorney about the court disposition date. Link to comment
GNH Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Just because your visa was cancelled does not make your status on the US invalid . You continue to remain in F1 status. Link to comment
sam3215 Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Hellow how is your case proceeding? any updates on visa revocation or stamping or extension? Link to comment
TaniaYeasmn Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Visa is required only for port of entry. You are in USA, So don't go out of country and maintain your F1 status. Rest consult with some immigration attorney they might know what to do with USCIS request. Good Luck. Link to comment
