回复:回复:急问:被裁员,是否可以由H-1B转成F-1以保持在美合法身
非常感谢“也想移民美国”大侠的回答,让我现在心里基本有底了。
还有两个小问题,不知您是否清楚呢?
1。 在 I-539 (Application to extend/change nonimmigrant status) 的表格上,列有“Nonimmigrant Categories”,其中不包括 H-1B。我想此表格可能是用于非移民签证之间的相互转换。那么从移民签证 H-1B 转为非移民签证 F-1,是否应填另外一个表格呢?
2。重新申请 H-1B 距离申请 change of status to F-1 有没有最短时间间隔的限制呢?假如我很幸运的在明年年初有找到了一份工作,并马上重新申请 H-1B,那么我会不会被 USCIS 认为在申请 F-1 时有“preconceived intent” 而予以处罚呢?我在某个律师网站看到这样一段条文:“If an alien files an immigration petition or applies to adjust to LPR status from a nonimmigrant status immediately after making the entry into the US, the USCIS would likely find that the alien entered with a "preconceived intent" to remain and that the F-1 visa was fraudulently obtained. The USCIS and the Board of Immigration Appeals can, as a proper exercise of discretion, deny the alien's adjustment application and deport him.” 这是针对第一次以非移民签证(such as F-1)入境美国而后又很快申请移民或作身份调整的。不知道我转成移民签证 H-1B 会不会也受类似限制?另外,我可以在短期内申请移民(办绿卡)吗?
再次感谢!!!
