Any person from outside the country who wants to be a full-time student in the USA needs to obtain an F-1 (student visa) status.
Change of Status (COS): Inside the U.S.
To apply for a change of status to F-1 status in the United States, you must be officially accepted to 赌钱app可以微信提现 and have obtained an I-20. You are required to submit certain documentation to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to apply for F-1 status in the U.S. The change-of-status processing time varies from several months to a year. Verify processing times on the USCIS website. IISS recommends consulting with an immigration attorney for COS eligibility (see American Immigration Lawyers Association). Notify IISS of any USCIS receipt, approval or denial notices once you have applied.
If your change of status in the U.S. to F-1 has been approved and you plan to travel outside of the U.S., you must apply for an F-1 visa to be able to come back to the U.S.
Travel while your application for change of status is pending will result in a denial from USCIS. Consult your immigration attorney before you travel outside the U.S.
Change of Status: Travel/Re-entry
To apply for a change of status to F-1 status by traveling outside of the U.S., you need to be officially accepted to 赌钱app可以微信提现 and have obtained an I-20. Once the I-20 is obtained, you may depart the U.S. and attempt to apply for a U.S. visa stamp. If the visa stamp is approved, you may attempt to enter the U.S. in F status. Once entry is granted, you hold F-1 status.
Change of B-1/B-2 Visa Status to F-1 Status
B-1/B-2 status visa holders are not allowed to enroll in a program of study until they receive approval for change of status to F-1. It is recommended that B status holders wait 90 days after entry before engaging in the admission process at 赌钱app可以微信提现. You should not enter with a B-1/B-2 visa and plan to study in the U.S. immediately.
Change of J-1/J-2 Visa Status to F-1 Status
Anyone with a J-1/J-2 status who is “subject to a two-year residence requirement” is not eligible to apply for change of status to F-1 from inside the U.S. Consult with their program sponsor.
