Hello Sajha Folks,

I was wondering if anyone has gone through similar problem as me. I graded in 2008, worked under OPT and H1B and then going to school now (full time) in MS Computer Science. Since I was in H1B, I had to apply for change of status. My intent was going to school full time instead of doing online degree, etc. However, after filing my petition, I got a RFE from the immigration services asking for :

1) residency in Nepal and how I am maintaining that.
2) H1B Pay stubs
3) Extended (postponed F1 date on I-20)

I got following documents from Nepal:

1) Parents property paperworks
2) GPO (that I have been maintaing that)
3) My own bank accounts from Nepal.
4) Parents bank accounts
5) A letter stating that I will return back to my home country after completion of my education
6) Latest H1B related pay stubs
7) Extended I-20

My case is under review now. Do you guys have been in the same situation? I still have the employer willing to take me back.
Thanks for your info.
