H4 to F1 Change of Status

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Unfortunately as you know by now, U.S.C.I.S. does not expedite an application just because your semester starts next month in fall 2015. You can stay in the country until you obtain an adjudication from the agency. You can also go to school as long as the school is willing to allow you to attend. Renewing the driver’s license depends upon the rules of the particular state. It is usually not a good idea to travel to 3rd country consulates to obtain an initial F-1 visa. The chances of rejection are high.  Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

What is my immigration status if I do not return to the US ship after leave is up?

Kevin L. Dixler
Answered by attorney Kevin L. Dixler
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Kevin L. Dixler
A C1/D2 crew member must return to their ship. They cannot adjust status, nor seek relief for the most part. A person who overstays a C1/D2 can be deported They usually have no right to adjust status even if they marry a U.S. Citizen. It is best to consider consular processing and leave with the ship. Should negotiation be needed, you may need an experienced Filipino licensed attorney who practices Filipino maritime or armed forces law. There has only been one exception in the history of immigration law. However, if you were not petitioned directly or indirectly for an immigration visa by January 14, 1998, then you cannot do much. I strongly recommend an appointment or teleconference to consider all of your options.
