Should be no problem, especially you have changed status from B to F and then to H.

That stamp should not affect your adjustment of status.

Looks like you will be fine. The annotation indicated no extension of status and it looks like you changes status. My experience has been that no one who is supposed to pay attention to the annotations ever does. So I do not think that you will have any trouble and I see no legal impediment raised as a result of the concern you have shared. Good luck.

It might. But there is nothing illegal about that statement. As long as it is consistent with your intent at the time you have no issue. You are allowed to change your mind once in the US. If you knew before you entered that this was your plan, then that can be a misrep issue.

Absolutely NOT. You can be confident it will not affect you in any way at this point.

You will be asked to explain that notation and your reply is very important, as there is an implication that you committed fraud.
