Hi,
I'm currently on the pending status of Change of Status from H1 to B2 (been waiting for 4 months).
And recently I got accepted from a graduate school with the spring of 2012 admission and am planning to re-entry from Mexico.
Here are my situations:
1. I was arrested for DUI (was dismissed the case) and still charged for the refusal for the breathalyzer.
2. I have a relatives (who lives in US) who will sponsor financially for my education and have official documents to prove.
3. One of my family member is currently overstayed in US.
4. I have a collection from the credit card company.
5. I have a valid passport with the receipt for the change of status case.
When filing for the change of status, I gave an explanation to show my interest to visit my sister (with a valid student visa) and to study.
If I leave the country while on the pending status, will I have a higher chance to get denied for f1 visa? Do any of you (and expertises) have similar situations?
Thanks for your advice in advance.
