SOS: H1 转 F1 --- I am going crazy now dancingmsg2006-09-15 15:52:40

I ted application for changing H1B to F1. Received the letter
yestereday:

Notice to Student

The attached I-20 is returned to notify you that you have
been granted nonimmigrant status or other related benefit
based on your I-20. The stamp on the I-20 indicates the
date and place you were admitted or otherwise granted
status as well as the duration of stay allowed.

This I-20 is for your records. You must comply with all
the terms and conditions of the nonimmigrant status.


在 I-20 上， 有一个 Stamp, "Approved Sep 08 2006".
还有一个 "NOTE: YOU MUST OBTAIN A NEW VISA TO REENTER
THIS COUNTRY IN YOUR PRESENT STATUS"

I-20 上还有 "RECLASSIFIED TO F1 AND STAY AUTHORIZED TO D/S
SSC 0009"

我的问题是

1） 我现在是什么身份？ F1 还是 H1
call 了CIS， 两个不同的人给我不同的解释， 一个说我现在
是 F1， 但是 school does not start until Jan 2007， 所以
我必须离境， 申请签证再进来， 或者去学校
另一个人告诉我我的 F1 won't be effective until Jan 2007
我现在还是 H1B

2） 现在到底可以做什么？ 还能工作么？
没有办法和批件的人联系上， 他们让我写信去问， 那得等到
什么时候呀？

请帮帮忙指点一下， 谢谢， 谢谢

问一下, 你要求的I-20 是什么时候开始

看明白了.

回复：看明白了.

回复：你在签F1前是H,等待快开学时出境签F签证

回复：新I-94要你出境后,回来时获得

你现在的I-539案子已经处理完了，所以如果想在美国境内获得新的I-94

回复：一般visa种类转换,需要出境签,我不确信,但觉得不太
