    You can look up current processing times here. The time frame for processing an I-539 depends on the service center, with California currently taking about 2.5 months for an average case, and Vermont presently processing submissions from last August. The amount of time any specific application can take can vary depending on the issues involved.

    There is no way to address the chance of refusal without knowing the facts.

    If the start date of the program is approaching quickly, you should go for stamping. Since you are here on a B-1, it is likely you need to fulfill your obligations to your employer and check out at your home country office. Are you afraid of going for stamping?

    I think he's avoiding going back to Israel. He's dodging the obligatory military service. This is about the third or fourth thread he's started trying to invent some way from returning.
