What adjudicative action will be taken on George's Form I-539 based on the provided documentation?

• A. Request additional evidence to establish eligibility for a COS
• B. Approve the Form I-539 and grant a COS from a B-2 to a J-1 for D/S
• C. Approve the Form I-539 and grant a COS from a B-2 to an F-1 for D/S
• D. Deny the Form I-539 and provide motion rights

Answer: (C)

The adjudicative action on George's Form I-539 is based on the type of change of status (COS) he is requesting and whether he meets the eligibility requirements set forth by USCIS. In this case, if the documentation clearly indicates that George is eligible to change his status from a B-2 (visitor) to an F-1 (student) and that he fulfills all necessary requirements for the F-1 category, the appropriate decision would be to approve the Form I-539 and grant the COS for D/S (Duration of Status).

Opting for the F-1 status typically requires the applicant to be enrolled in a full-time academic program and maintain certain criteria such as financial support and intention to return to their home country after studies. If George meets these conditions and has provided suitable documentation to support his application, it would justify the approval of his request.

The determination process involves reviewing the documentation submitted with the Form I-539 to ensure that everything aligns with the standards for the requested change of status—thereby making it plausible for USCIS to approve the request under the specified conditions for F-1 classification.
