F Visa Sample Cases

These are some sample cases from our files. It is impossible for us to present all have done past over 15 years of our practice. But these were some cases that came to mind when we started writing this column 2-3 years ago.

Case type: F-1 COS RFE; No ties with home country; 6 Years of H-1 over

Category: F-1 Visa
Status: COS to F-1 approved

Last week we received an approval for a difficult change of status RFE.  We were retained to respond to an RFE for a client who had no ties to his home country (India).  Six years of his H-1 were over and he was trying to get into F-1 status.  He had been working and studying in Europe before coming to USA on H-1.  We presented the facts of our client's background with complete honesty and sincerity.  No games (which is the way all our cases are presented).  I am glad to report that as has always been my belief, truthful presentation works.

Case type: F-1 Visa

Category: F-1 Visa
Status: F-1 visa granted.

We were approached by the parents of an applicant whose application for an F-1 visa had been denied based on Section 214(b) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (possible immigrant).Normally, we would have not been able to do much.  But in this case, the visa applicant had already visited USA three times in the past and left in time.While it was true that her entire family lived in USA, the fact remained that she had never violated any US laws, despite having an opportunity to do so. We filed for reconsideration.
