Hello,

I have dug more in the issue:

1- That semester was a last semester in the community college, she moved afterwards to a California State university CSU for the next two years.

2- I think the law says that you can have class hours less than full time in some cases, one of them is your last semester when you finished all required credit hours.

3- I don't think think she fell out of status, because she were issued a new I20 after that semester for CSU.

Can the immigration officer pull SEVIS records? If he can, why is he asking to provide class reports.

I think the plan now is to send all the class reports and the I20s, add a cover letter to explain why 10 hours in that semester.

Do you guys think that is enough? Is there a way to pull the SEVIS report?

Hello VisaJourney Community,

I am filing family based AOS to a relative, she has been living in USA for 5 years 2016 to 2021 under F1 student visa. We had a hiccup, I hope it is a small one.

It goes like:

1- She needs 12 hours to maintain full time student status in fall and spring.

2- She has that satisfied for all the years, fall and spring.

3- She only missed on semester, fall 2018, where she has 10 credit hours.

4- The reason for (3) is that she  studied a 4 credit hours in summer 2018, if that class is added to the 2018 fall hours she should be meeting the full time criterion.

In the green card interview, officer discovered some missing years of her classes reports, we are in the process of gathering all the year reports, and we noticed the missing 2 credit hours.

Question: 1- how big of a problem?

                  2- Advice on how to proceed?

Thanks for your help!

Hello guys, I have a quick question, now my AoS is accepted and I got NoA1, that makes it legal to stay in the USA even if the priority date is still behind, right?

Hello Geowrian,

Thanks for your response.

I didn't fall out of status the whole time. My physical/mailing address in I-130 was inside USA. In your opinion,  what might have triggered consular processing and not AoS?

I will proceed with filing AoS.

Thanks!

Hello guys,

I have an approved I-130 with priority date Dec. 2015 category F2B. I am on a student visa/I-20 through 2015 until now. My priority date is coming current on June,. I was preparing to file AoS I-485, I received an email to fill in DS-xx electronically for consular processing. I am inside USA legally, what should I do?
