Has anyone here successfully reinstated to F-1 status after a year-long gap following a drop from F-1?

I started attending classes to stay on track with my program and ensure I maintain full-time enrollment while preparing my F-1 reinstatement application. From this, i have my full time class schedule and a scholarship letter for this semester, so planning to submit these two as a supporting documents(class schedule+grad assitantship contract)....also a letter from DSO

2. meaning 1 of my friend was in TPS, then he dropped out of F1 for 4 years, and then he reinstated back to F1 after 4 year(he was in tps the whole time)...and another friend dropped out of F1 for 1 year, and he was also in TPS the whole time....it took them 6-12 months to get the decision.....and they have been living in US for like 10-14 years now....

3. one of my friend who had 4 years gap, he said as long as you are in TPS and has some good reason, you dont have to worry about not getting approved....but he advised to use lawyer when filing reinstatement.....and another friend who had 1 year gap said you need a solid strong reason when applying for reinstatement
