Approved after a six-month ordeal

Turned away by several firms

Low GPA + a Missed RFE Deadline

Background

A student had been in an undergraduate program for 6 years and was dismissed for a GPA below 2.0, and the SEVIS record was terminated early. The student had already applied for reinstatement alone, but missed the RFE notice (the email reminder did not arrive in time), and the application was deemed abandoned.

Challenges

The facts were complex and the timeline convoluted. Several law firms the student contacted earlier had declined the case.

Strategy

After taking over, we rebuilt the timeline and materials and filed a complete application.

Outcome

Approved, rescuing a student who had been out of status for more than a year (filed 01/2024 · approved 04/2024).
