Thank you for your reply. But are you sure? Form I-134, Part 3, Item 10 [Immigration Status] asks for the sponsor's current immigration status and provides an option to specify another status, assuming proper documentation is provided.

Thank you for the clarification. Why is it that you think my chances are low? I have all qualifications and am bona fide, I don't see why this issue would be of such a great impact if I actually do have the funds lol.

No he isn't, he lives in my home country with my mother – only my brother and I are currently in the US

How come? I thought Premium Processing guaranteed a decision within 30 days. How would an initial action such as the RFE conclude something as expensive as PP? Yes, the RFE specifically addresses the financial information. It specifically highlights "Affidavits of support from a sponsor (Form I-534)" as an example of financial assistance available for tuition and living expenses and says "if you have a sponsor, please have your sponsor submit a statement or affidavit of support specifying the intended type and amount of contributions they will make on your behalf, such as tuition and school expenses, room and board, etc." I did not apply for a visa because I'm already in the US, and since my classes start in late January (I decided to transfer last month) it didn't make sense to leave just to get a visa and return right after.

Yes there is premium processing (I do think it's new though). As for sponsorship the I-539 form asks to describe how I'm supporting myself; I listed my brother and included evidence of source and amount, as well as an affidavit of support he signed for my university. However, USCIS is asking me to submit Form I-134, which raises my question: can my father submit Form I-134, even though my I-539 application states that my brother has been providing my support so far?

Hello everyone, I am currently in a bit of a situation with my I-539 (B-2 to F-1) and would greatly appreciate your advice. I submitted my I-539 with Premium Processing (I-907) listing my brother as my financial sponsor, but after receiving an RFE asking for more evidence on financial support, I realized that my brother (who studies in the US), would not have sufficient funds to sponsor both his own studies and mine. As a result, we've decided to change the sponsor to my father, who has adequate financial resources. Here are my main questions: 1) Changing sponsors: How can this be done? Would I need to file a new I-539 with updated sponsor information? If so, how do I ensure that the new form is linked to the original one that has Premium Processing? In fact, will the Premium Processing still apply, or would I lose it and have to pay another (really expensive) fee? 2) Currency conversion in supporting documents: Does USCIS require currency conversions from foreign currencies to USD to be done professionally (e.g. as part of the translation or a separate certified document), or can I do the conversion myself while referencing the exchange rate source? The deadline for my RFE is January 25, and my classes start on January 27, so timing is really critical here – it's crucial that I keep Premium Processing. Thank you in advance!!
