我3月上旬到OIE（我们这儿叫OIE, office of international education)咨询了一下，从那个advisor的口气听得出来他们似乎不太赞成到第三国签整，说那样太危险，说通过INS转，他听过的好象最快得45天。然后就给了我I-539和一张清单，邮寄地址。我那天回来后给大家写过的，又把它找出来了，如下：
Today I went to OIE. That guy gave me a piece of paper. He said I just need to follow the application procedure on the paper:
1. Completed Form I-539 with $140.00 fee (check or money order made payable to INS);
2. Original Form I-20 signed and dated;
3. Copy of both sides of form I-94;
4. Financial verification;
5. Copies of your spouse's valid Immigration forma: I-94,I-20 ID;
6. Copies of the pages in each individual's passport that include biographical information, passport picture, and passport expirtation.
there is also a note:
NOTE: If you have been offered an assistantship, please include and highlight in your letter:"please grant expedite assistantsgip pending." Also, write on bottom left corner of the enelope "Expedite:Assistantship pending."
这个前面还有一段话，是说你必须又要转身份的理由，给例举了三条：
1.an offer of a graduate assistantship by the school you will attend;
2.a written request from your sponsor requesting you change to F1;
3. your spouse is graduating and is returning to your home country and you need to remain in the U.S. to complete your studies.
从这个礼拜我开始准备材料了，正好我老公有个同学是去年转的身份所以我基本就按照她的准备进行的，除了纸上要求的这些外我又补充了一些：
1.老公系里开的上学和工资证明；（这一项不在清单里，但老公的同学当初被要求补了）；
2.让我老板写了一份信，简单说一下我的funding的情况，就为了说明钱够（这一点就是转生份的理由之二，我去问OIE地人时他说现在都不用这些了，因为新规定是不转身份就不让读书，所以只要读书就肯定需要转身分，但最后我还是放在里面了）；
3.结婚公证（这一项老公的同学也被要求需要补充的）；
4.老公的成绩单和银行的流水帐（这两项我们正在考虑要不要放进去，想放进去主要是考虑到填539的表时有一条是问到是谁提供的你以前的生活开支，不想放是觉得钱又不多，放进去不太好看）；
5.admission和offer letter;
就这些了，也不知道行不行。不过当然是材料越多越好，我是当初出来时没做什么工作证明，户口证明，现在再开又觉得时间太紧了。大家有的话就方便多了。
还有填539时一定要仔细，不确定得要去问问，我就跑了好几趟。不过幸好填的东西不多，去拿表时最好多拿几张，万一填错了什么的。
一家之言，仅供参考！
