Info passes appointment is made to come and speak with the USCIS agents in person. Inquiry can be the same thing or an inquiry over the phone.

Change of status

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The difficulty with your situation is that you cannot just apply for a change of status without again applying for the H-1B petition as there is no separate form for change of status as there was in earlier days. Perhaps you may be able to premium process your H-1B so the both the petition and change of  status are approved effective October 1st. In such case, you may be able to travel after the approval and before October 1st. Of course, there is the possibility that a CBP inspector may question you on the issue of nonimmigrant intent if he or she discovers that you have applied for and have been approved for H-1B status. As you know, F-1 students are not supposed to have an immigrant intent.

What should I do first if I want to marry a non-US citizen? How long do we have to wait before he can come to the US?

Answered by attorney David H Nachman
Immigration lawyer at NPZ Law Group
We presume you are a USC. If so, once you are married then You will first have to file a Petition for an Immigrant family member on Form I-130. You can also file for an Adjustment of Status in the U.S. on Form I-485 if your spouse is in the U.S. (and entered with inspection). Alternatively, your family member may be able to process for the green card at the U.S. Consulate. Please note that the process for sponsoring a member of the family has many nuances and we encourage you to consider hiring a qualified immigration lawyer or attorney with regard to this matter. One particular nuance has to do with the planning or filing of the Affidavit of Support Form and package.
