There is a difference between taking an exam that ”qualifies for you for admission” (if that is the way you stated it), and actually applying for admission. Did you say that if you passed the exam you planned on applying and trying to change status? 


The fact that you highlighted “62 days” a couple of times interests me. It sounds like you were following the old 30/60/90 days rule. Now, it’s just 90 days, though. (That is described in the link to the USCIS manual I posted earlier.) Obviously, 90 days has not yet passed.
 

Yeah, that was part of the point of highlighting why it could be a problem. If you happen to have fast adjudication and it’s too soon to be in F1, they’ll deny you. If it takes too long and goes too far past your start date you could have problems actually registering. Then you can’t meet the requirements of your F1 status.

 

What are you planning to do in the US until September? You obviously can’t work.

I intend to live with a close relative and participate in  community volunteer programs pending the approval and no,  I didn’t tell cbp i was going to change status.

You need a valid reason to extend your status, hanging out because you want to COS is unlikely to hack it.

 

We are now in May and most unlikely a COS could be completed for a September start. However maybe a F1 could be processed if the Consulates open up.

 

I always go for the keep it simple approach, especially with something like this, a COS means you would need a visa any way to re enter, go get the Visa now.
