本人H1b, EB3, Pd 8/2015. 孩子目前大学四年级，今年五月毕业，已收到某大学博士研究生录取通知书。孩子一月份已21岁，从而h4 , I94 过期。去年10月递交H4 to F1转换身份申请。从目前处理速度来看，五月份之前不一定能处理到他的申请, 学校要不断推迟他 I20 上的 program "start date" 。学校给出两条建议：1）file "B2 visa Application" to bridge the gap between his previous H4 status and the time when his F1 approves, therefore to make sure he has a legal status 30 days before your new F-1 program start date.  2) 出境办签证

我觉得第一条不可行， 因为一旦申请b2,他就不能继续读书，按期毕业了。可是他又没法延h4, 不能满足f1开始之前30天有合法身份的要求 (http://www.nafsa.org/Professional_Resources/Browse_by_Interest/International_Students_and_Scholars/USCIS_Policy_on_Filing_Bridge_Applications_During_COS_to_F-1_or_M-1_Status/?,  没什么办法，只能眼睁睁的等着f1申请被拒

如果实在需要出去办签证，签证有风险，-Has he filed I-485 yet? If no, It should be fine because your I-140 is irrelevant to him (he can say "No" to the question like whether he has immigrant application or someone filed immigrant petition for him).


您认为现在出去办，


还是等五月毕业了，再出去签好？
-This is better. He is lawfully present in US at present (during the change of status application lending). His school needs to issue a new I-20 to him for application for F-1 visa outside US. He can only enter US in advance up to 30 days before the I-20 effective date (i.e. the school new semester start date).

他的这种情况 ，可以去加拿大签吗？_I am not sure. You need to check the US Consulate website in Canada,
