Hi, really need help here.
My brother went to US with F-1 years ago. However, because of last year he felt depressed and unhappy, he did a stupid thing. He didn't register as a fulltime student for this year spring and fall semesters. As far as I know, he is out of status. Recently, the families in China persuaded him and he successfully gets re-admission to the same graduate program approved. But to register and graduate, we think he must be go back to China and get visa to re-enter US. The thing is, how much chance for him to get visa-approved in China.
I consulted a lawyer, who said only missing school will not start the 3-year bar activited, is that right?
He's ready to go back US for the last semester, once graduate, he will go back to China.
Thanks very much!!
