Subject: Request for Consideration to Apply for Change of Status (COS) with Pending J-1 Waiver
Dear Sir/Madam,
I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to respectfully request your consideration to allow me to apply for a Change of Status (COS) from my current J-1 visa to an F1 language school studen visa, despite the pending J-1 waiver with USCIS.
I am currently in the process of pursuing my educational goals in the United States and have been accepted into a reputable language school. In order to continue my studies and maintain my legal status, I must transition from my J-1 visa to an F1 visa. The language school program is crucial for my academic and career development, as it will enhance my language skills and facilitate my integration into American society.
On June 1st, I received a Favorable Recommendation from the DOS for the waiver of the two-year home residency requirement associated with my J-1 visa based on a "No Objection" Statement from my home country Turkey. However, I regret to inform you that I am still awaiting the final decision from USCIS regarding the waiver. Due to the time-sensitive nature of my situation, I kindly request your understanding and flexibility in considering my Change of Status application despite the pending waiver.
I would like to emphasize that my intention to change my status to an F1 visa is solely to pursue my academic goals and further contribute to the United States. I have a genuine desire to comply with all immigration regulations and maintain a lawful status throughout my stay in this country. I understand the importance of the J-1 waiver process and assure you that I will abide by any decision made in that regard.
I kindly request USCIS to take into consideration the favorable recommendation by the DOS, as it signifies the Department's acknowledgment of my eligibility for a waiver. Granting me the opportunity to proceed with my Change of Status application will allow me to pursue my studies without further delay, benefiting both my personal growth and the academic institution I have been accepted to.
I am more than willing to provide any additional documentation or information that may assist in reviewing my case and making an informed decision. I understand that USCIS receives numerous requests daily, and I genuinely appreciate your attention and consideration in reviewing my application.
Thank you for your time and consideration of my request. I look forward to a positive response and the opportunity to continue my education in the United States.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
