RFE

[jasminejasso 0]

Hello all,

 

 

 

I have received a RFE recently from USCIS after applying for change of status from b1/b2 to f1 via I-539

 

 

 

in the RFE USCIS has asked me plenty of questions which has gave me the doubt that they are trying to find a way to reject my Change of Status.

 

 

 

 

 

RFE is asking for following:

 

 

 

1. NEW I-20 with new start term date with same SEVIS number

 

 

 

2. Financial Support documents bank statement, paystups and sponsor letter i-134 etc. (Sponsor info)

 

 

 

3. Reason given for obtaining the B-1 Visa at US Consulate (It was medical reason visiting my father) Provide proof of tourism in chronological order and cities/towns visited

 

 

 

4. A detailed chronological list with (exact to dates) of the activities engaged since in USA, towns and tourist attractions visited (Provide documentary proof)

 

 

 

5. Explanation how or from whom i heard about the school and what made me apply for admission to the school.

 

 

 

6. Provide documentary evidence of the day you applied for admission to the school.

 

 

 

7. Statements regarding the reason and justification for returning to school at this time and how would the schooling benefit me to return to home country.

 

 

 

8. Submit proof for all residential addresses in USA, telephone bills, utility bills and receipts since arrival in states.

* Now its asking me for Statements regarding the reason and justification for returning to school at this time and how would the schooling benefit me to return to home country.

 

 

 

* Submit justification for remaining in the U.S to study instead of institution in home country.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, my question is what

One thing for sure, they are *not trying* to reject your application for AOS (adjustment of status). They are merely asking you to provide proof that supports your application in order for them to continue adjudicating your AOS. If they were trying to reject you, they would have rejected it outright without issuing a RFE. 

 

However, if we look at #3 and #4, I think they are trying to ascertain that you DID NOT enter the US with the intent to AOS. Reason being, with B1/B2, IF a person enters the US WITH intent to adjust, that is visa fraud. 

 

Also, USCIS form instructions sheet doesn't always outline ALL required or helpful supporting documents. It is the applicant's responsibility to research and include and I'm guessing you provided insufficient supporting documents hence the long list of RFE.
