H-1B to F-1 Change of Status Approved in 2 Days!
Our client contacted our office for assistance with an F-1 change of status application.
The client had previously held F-1 status, later changed to H-1B status, and then decided to return to school. Our team prepared and filed the application within 8 business days.
The case was filed online with premium processing on June 8, 2026, and was approved on June 10, 2026 — in only 2 days.
F-1 change of status cases can often receive Requests for Evidence, especially when the applicant is changing from H-1B status back to F-1 student status. For that reason, this fast approval is a great success story and a strong result for our client.
We are happy to have helped our client take this important step toward continuing her education in the United States.
