The response from the USCIS recieved July of 2007 was "Current Status: This
case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.
The I824 APPLICATION FOR ACTION ON AN APPROVED APPLICATION OR PETITION was
transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office."
My gf and I have lived together in the Dominican Republic for 1 year and
have joint bank accounts in the Dominican Republic. My gf
owns a vehicle and also has her personal "non-joint" bank
account.
In June, my gf is due to finish her one year of required servitude by the
government of the Dominican Republic to be given full unrestricted permision
to practice general medicine in the Domincan Republic. In other words, she has finished her studies and is finishing her year's service. Okay
My gf would like to study in the US for her MD/Phd degree. To do this, she
needs to study for several exams prior to getting accepted by a US
university. In order to prepare for and take these MD/Phd entrance exams
she has to do so in the US. Bullsh!t...they give classes here for that. Kaplan and Toefl preparation.
We would like to get married in the US while she is studying. She still needs to return to the DR.Not going to happen
May she go to TOEFL and MCAT training school in the US on an F1 VISA?
If I apply for a change of status after we marry, while she is in US on F1, for her will that negate her parent's application for her?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

She should get her own Residency first. Then plan on going to the States if need be, to study, get married or whatever. She had better be a good student or else she will not get into a good residence program.
If you start to mess around with this you could prejudice the Resident Visa Request made by her parents years ago. You c an message the Consulate and find out whenher interview will be...See if things can be speeded up a bit..
Good luck, she sounds like a fine girl..
