I entered the Us on a B2 visa in January and i submitted my COS papers on the 6 of June. I want to start college in the fall. I read the post about being able to start school if you got here befor 4/12. Is this true? and how long do you think i'll have to wait for the INS to notify me about my COS?

I filed my I-20 last november and received a letter asking for further evidences last april. I submitted loads of documents some of them really irrational and irritating, I think that they didn't even review my first application because they were asking for the same documents that I already sunmitted. but anyway, I just got my approval letter 6/30 which makes it approx. 25 days from my filing date so they are really efficient now. ADVICE TO THOSE WHO ARE CHANGING FROM B2 TO F1: Do not lose hope! just make sure you comply to everything they ask from you and you will be fine!
GOOD LUCK TO EVRYONE!

Hey what I did was I got enrolled in highschool on my b2 visas then I hired an attorney to chsnge my b2 status to f1 then he extended my b2 visas. He told my school to get me the I20 form after i filled it out I posted it to my attorney and he will take care of the rest of the case with the Ins.Thats all youve got to do.
