    Default Changing Status from J1 to F1 While in the States and International Travel

    Hi, I came to The States about two years ago with j1 visa just for the summer, but then I changed my status to f1 right before my j1 expires. I am supposed to graduate in December, but my friend back home is getting married in the summer and she wants me to be her made of honor. I know that if I go back I have to apply for the new visa and go for an interview, but I don't know what are the chances they would let me come back in America. My mother came to visit me last summer with my brother and she got a green card, so now they live here and I don't know what to do. Can you give me an advice if I can go home for the wedding or I should stay here? What are the chances I don't get my visa and immigration don't let me back in US?

    You say that you successfully changed status from J1 to F1 about two years ago, that you remain enrolled in a course of studies and have not yet graduated, and are in status on your F1 visa. If you successfully changed status to F1 and remain in status through the completion of your course of studies, why are you asking about applying for a new visa?

    Hi,
    I successfully changed status back then, but I don't have printed visa in my passport, and that is what I need to apply for when I go home.
