    Default Changing Status from F2 to F1

    If you petition for a change of status from F2 to F1, what will happen if the USCIS rejects your petition? If you travel outside of the U.S. will your F2 status remain valid?

    Default Re: Changing Status from F2 to F1

    If for some reason your I-539 is denied, as long as your spouse remains in valid F-1 status, your derivative F-2 status should remain valid.

    If you are traveling to your home country, you can apply for the F-1 directly at the U.S. Embassy in your home country rather than trying to adjust your status.
