Please keep in mind that our office provides guidance specifically for F-1 students. We may not have complete or fully accurate information about other visa types. For questions about your new visa status or the related legal process, it’s best to consult an immigration attorney. They can provide the most accurate guidance regarding your status and next steps.
Change of Status – Pending
While your Change of Status (COS) is pending, you are still required to maintain and follow all F-1 visa regulations. Your status remains that of an F-1 student until your new visa is approved. Please keep in mind that our office provides guidance specifically for F-1 students. We may not have complete or fully accurate information about other visa types.
For questions about your new visa or the related legal process, it’s best to consult an immigration attorney or your employer who filed the H-1B petition. They can provide the most accurate guidance regarding your status and next steps.
If you have any questions about maintaining your F-1 status while your H-1B is pending, we’re happy to help clarify those requirements. Email us at ISGSS@lewisu.edu.
