Change of Status Information

Looking to apply for a change of status to an F-1 visa? Please read these resources to help you better understand the change of status application process.

  • Change of Status Information
  • Information for B-1/B-2 visitor visa holders

NOTE: Current B visa (visitor) holders can apply for change of status while currently in the USA, but are NOT eligible to enroll in college courses with a B visa and must wait if/when their change of status to F-1 is approved. Due to current processing time of B to F-1 change of status requests, it is highly recommended that B visa holders leave the USA and apply for an F-1 visa through an embassy in their home country.
