Hello, my wife has applied for H4 to F1 change of status and received RFE. They have mentioned few reasons among them two little tricky as below,
-
COS to F1
Reason for Returning to School: Submit a detailed statement explaining your reasons for returning to school at this time. Also include an explanation detailing how attending school in the United States would benefit you upon return to
your home country. -
Residence Abroad
INA 101(a)(15)(F)(i) requires that an F-1 student establishes that he or she has a residence in a foreign
country which he or she has no intention of abandoning, is a bona fide student qualified to pursue a
full course of study, and seeks to enter the United States temporarily and solely for the purpose of
pursuing such a course of study.
Submit documentation to establish that you have maintained a foreign residence to which you intend
to return at the expiration of your period of authorized study. The evidence may include, but is not
limited to:
Recent telephone bills and/or utility bills at your place of foreign residence;
Residence Permit (government issued identity card) establishing foreign residence;
Letter from government authorities on official letterhead with government seal showing your
foreign residence;
A letter from your parents indicating that you reside with them;
Mortgage statements or current rental agreements relating to your foreign residence, to include
rental receipts;
A letter from your foreign bank, on the bank’s letterhead with the bank’s certification signature,
which verifies your foreign residence address, bank account number, and shows an established
relationship with the bank (e.g., bank account opened for 3 months)
In addition, submit a statement and evidence detailing the effect your extended stay in the United
States will have on your foreign residence. Fully explain and provide documentary evidence of how
you are, and who is, managing your foreign residence for the time already spent in the United States
and requested on the application.
Anyone has idea on how to respond this or any experience? Your help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
