Asylum filing ??

As far as i understand, Once you filed for the asylum and gets rejected, it provides a sense to the USCIS that your intention was to stay in US which is against their law. . No matter what status you are in now B1B2 or F1 or H1,you will get the decision letter from USCIS stating that you have to leave the country within specified time period. It won't tell you to revert back to your previous status just because of you are in F1 or H1. I have seen people with H1 and F1 filed for asylum and both got approved. I have also seen a best friend of mine who went to nepal right after he got the deportation letter. He is fortunately coming back because his wife is going to be US citizen in the state.

I recommend you to talk to the immigration lawyer. Be careful in choosing the lawyer because lawyer tends to provoke you to apply simply because they thing everything is possible.

Good luck to you.
