    Uh ok whatever. I guess we should thank you for showing others who might be reading it that they too need to be prepared to do nothing for 2 years waiting 🤷‍♀️ Many people would find this way too boring a way to spend their young lives, money or not, so good for them to know

    Whatever you think, I just want to share my experience for those who choose that path, not to show off

    The extensions were all approved in 2021, right? Or were there some approved in 2020?

    All extension got approval almost same time, on March 2021, and then I got request for evidence for change of status on Apr 2021

    Did you mean to say Nov 2020 or was it really Nov 2019?

    Nov 2019 I filed for that case and got approval after 18 months

    So what have you been doing? Sitting at home doing nothing for a year and a half waiting for a status that allows you to study? How was this better than getting a student visa from your home country that probably would have been successful more than a year earlier?

    Let say, I have enough money to just stay home and do nothing for 2 years

    So you applied in November 2019 and juts got approved in 2021? Honestly, though approved, it may be a futile effort. Why? During this COVID times, a lot of people applied for B-2 extensions and change of statutes, got approved in the same fashion as you, but when the approval arrived, they were way out of status and as such, the approval is futile. 

     

    1. When did you first come into the US on your B-2?

    2. When did you first authorized stay expire? 

     

    I just don't understand what status you've been in from November 2019 upto May 2021.

     

    I'll let others chime in.

    Maybe @Lucky Cat can give his insight on this. 

    I did 3 visa extension during the time my change of status pending, they are all approved before the change of status get approval
