Originally, I was in F1 student. From Dec 2016 I stayed on TPS only and left F1 status. However, from last December I and one of the friend (same status background) rejoined the college as a full time student. My friend started his F1- reinstatement process on Jan 2019 and I started on Feb 2019 with the help of the college. After 6 months we both got approval letter from the USCIS and college also provided I-20 to both of us. But, suddenly after few days, the online system of USCIS again updated that our case is further reopen and is under review. Then after 2-3 months, it stated that my friend’s reinstatement is denied and he got “Decision” letter in his mail. It says 33 days to leave the country or the court may send another mail for further processing.
In present scenario, I haven’t got that letter but there is maximum chance that I may also get the similar letter since the online USCIS system shows my case is further under review again. Wondering if anybody have similar case? We really appreciate if you could give us any advice or suggestions to overcome the issue?
Any advice or suggestion are greatly appreciated.
Tps cha. They can’t deport u. Hope for dream and promise act pass
What type of college did you do your processing through? A reputed University?
What reason did you put to answer why reinstating back to F-1?
You are supposed to submit the declaration of finances document which shows you have enough capital to pay for school, did you show enough funds?
Did they mention any specific reason as to why the reinstatement case was denied?
Normally, you will be given reasons for denial since you said, your friend already got his/her decision letter. what does the letter say?? and then consult with immigration lawyer. I believe, you guys still have valid TPS even if its denied. Retain Immigration lawyer ASAP to avoid future mistakes.
Thank you for your suggestion. Basically, the denied letter said "F-1 status has been terminated for 2 years and reason is not beyond your control". That's why we were confused since we already got an approval letter and again received the denied letter. So wanted to be clear what should be our next steps? Any advise is greatly appreciated.
Thank you for response. Let's hope for positive ....
Thank you for your response. Please see the answer to your questions in blue highlighted below…

You are supposed to submit the declaration of finances
document which shows you have enough capital to pay for school, did you show
enough funds? -- Yes we did.

A
Decision letter from USCIS must citied a Code of Federal Regulation, known as CFR to give a reason why the case is approved or denied. They can't just say bla bla.
Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations deals with Immigration, so, you may have, 8 CFR 214.1 similar kind of code and explanation in your decision letter.
Within 33 days, you have to response, now look at the bottom of the letter, there is a NOTICE.
Now depend on your denial reason, if we know exact 8 CFR, then we have to file
Notice of Appeal or Notice of Motion Form I-290 B (fees around $ 600)
Hire an attorney ASAP.
Good luck!
Thank you so much for the details. I really appreciate your help.
