From: To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> Subject: Fwd: Withdrawal of H1B for SLK Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 22:12:28 +0000 The school has only issued the form I needed to book my appointment at the embassy today and it has to get here by fedex, so they gave me an extra week and put on the form that I have to be in the US by the 2nd. (I can get an appointment at the embassy early next week). If I don't make it in time parsons will defer me to fall semester. Arda sent me below yesterday which has made me a little scared (paragraph 3) (its not exactly the truth, he didn't mention the HI B would stand against me, but he did say I need to mention that I want to go back to school and gain an education before returning to South Africa) Forwarded message From: arda beskardes Date: Tue, Jan 20, 2015 at 5:28 PM Sub'ect: Re: Withdrawal of HIB for SLK To: Cc: Darren Indyke M, it takes at least 3-4 months to receive a withdrawal letter. sometimes more, sometimes less. regardless of the withdrawal, because you have left the country, your application for an extension of status in the H-lb classification was "abandoned". therefore, you have NO worries at the consulate level as far as the H-lb extension application is concerned. however, as we discussed, they may ask why you want to go back to school and you have to prove that you will leave the US at the completion of your studies. the fact that you spent three years in the H-lb status works against you. but, you can still make a very compelling argument that you got your professional training and now you need some further academic training before you return back home. usually, in situations like yours, the visa application is not a problem.
