Hi everyone,

I got my I-20 and my SEVIS paid for and now in the process of applying for COS I-539 to change it to F-1. I got laid off in April and have H-1B grace period until June 3rd.

I have some questions about this.

My first question will be: will I be lawfully present while I have a pending COS I-539?

Next, My school starts on June 22nd, can I attend school while having Pending COS? Or do I have to wait and defer to later start date for the program?

Thank you in advance
