关于材料的说明：
第(1)项，支付申请费的check我是pay给：Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration
Services
第(3)项 附上的信是系里说要提前上一门课的信，我随手放进材料了，在cover letter里
也随口说了一下。
第(10)项 中行的存款证明的空白处打上了当日的汇率；我听说也可以另开一张汇率证明
的。如果有人民币的存款证明，又担心要补交汇率证明的朋友可以参考。
第(25)，(26)项上的地址，以及我的永久地址，都不是一样的；但是BCIS好像并不关心这
一点。

根据BCIS的官方网站上http://www.immigration.gov/graphics/fieldoffices/scnationa
l/index.htm#H 的信息和前辈们的经验（再次感谢），我是这么整理材料的：
(一)信封上除了写自己和BCIS的地址外，还在左下角写上了：
Original Submission
Form I539: change of status from F2 -> F1
(二)信封里面的材料：
我用了4个回形针，一个用来把支票固定在材料的最上面；第二个用来固定(3)-(9)的材料
，第三个固定(10)-(16), 第四个固定(17)-(26)的材料；
我在一些复印件上贴了label，注明材料内容；
我在材料上贴了那种小tab，注明了页码；注意BCIS的官方网站上说：“The tabs should
be placed on the bottom and not the side for ease in filing.”

谢谢版上xdjm们的指点和帮助，祝大家也一切顺利！^_^

偶要在TX 中心转身份,请问各位大侠, TX一般需要多久? 因为很少见到有人从TX转的说.

guessUID：119817

Wumi, i also change my status by Texas service center. I don't know how long it takes. I sent my application on the beginning of June and so far don't get the result.

LYQUUID：55385

有朋友知道假如在ARIZONA 转身份的话，应该在哪个中心办理？
此外，假如2003年10月才F2到美国的话，F2还可以转F1吗？
万分感谢！

Congrauations to lilycool and orangescent!

Your case are both very fast. Did you submit it by yourself other than OISSS?

Guess, I hope you get approved soon too.

I have a long row to hoe because I haven't received I-20 yet.

Great news for TX center

orangescentUID：119831

那个不是我的case，是我从mit上转发的。
我的I-20还在路上呢。我估计我要和NB斗争到明年这时候了。。。
刘若英有首歌不是“我等你，半年为期”吗，我看来要和我的f1说：“我等你，一年为期了”。

1月底f2来美，5月中file application,6月中要求补充材料。他们受
到材料一周后approve。

太高兴了，呵呵。

我觉得有奖学金的朋友申请时一定要申请expedite processing，否则可能很慢。
这个是有依据的，大家google以下"NSC Open House"就知道了。还有一个relevant的文档
是http://www.region1.nafsa.org/NSCOpenHouse2002Q&A.doc

“As to your second question, we most certainly will expedite c/s requests  
for students who have an assistantship and need to have the c/s granted.
We had a teleconference Monday with some folks from Iowa and this was a big  
issue.  The students need to indicate in their letter when requesting an  
expedite something to the affect “please grant expedite assistantship  
pending” or something similar.

另外，补充材料的朋友，尽量使用他们提供给你的信封，那上面有条形码。

祝大家好运！
