What is surer/faster for an H4 (wanting to study & divorcing in 5 months), COS H4 to F-1? Or get divorced and get F-1 as an international student?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
By the time that you obtain your I-20, your divorce will still be in process according to your fact situation. You are eligible to file for a change of status from H-4 to F-1 as long as both you and your spouse have been maintaining valid nonimmigrant status. If you file for the change of status before the divorce, the divorce will not affect U.S.C.I.S.’ adjudication on the F-1 application. You will of course have to show adequate financial support to be a student who can remain here without working. Change of status for those who are in status is usually more certain than consular processing. If you decide to go with change of status and once your change of status is approved, it is up to you as to whether you want to go outside the U. S. to have a visa stamped in your passport. That is not a necessity and many people just stay here with the change of status. You would be allowed to stay as long as you are still maintaining your F-1 status. You are allowed to attend college prior to having your F-1 stamped or even before U.S.C.I.S. makes an adjudication on the change of status.

What can I do if I was sent to ICE custody and I’m facing deportation now for a DUI?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Peter S Kollory (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at The Law Offices of Peter S. Kollory
The safest way to avoid removal is to have DUI charges dismissed. In order to do that you have to plead not guilty and try the case. Meanwhile seek continuance in removal hearing pending outcome of DUI case. You need an attorney with these areas of practice, or a small full service firm that can also handle immigration.

Filed my H1B late this year (for 2014 cap) is CPT a good option to me?

David H Nachman
Answered by attorney David H Nachman
Immigration lawyer at NPZ Law Group
The questions you have asked are extremely complicated and requires a full analysis of the facts and circumstances of your case. You may qualify for a STEM extension. Have you looked into that? You may be able to file the H-1B because your employer is exempt from the cap. Have you looked into that? You may also want to consider enrolling in a new F-1 program to remain in the U.S. There may be other options but we need to look at your resume and understand your employment options too. You will want to seek out the counsel of a qualified immigration lawyer who would be able to let you know your options.
