How to change your status as a O-3 Visa holder?

While in the country on an O-3 visa, an individual must change his visa status in order to modify the purpose of his visit. O-3 visa holders have the option of changing their status to another non-immigrant (temporary) status if they meet the requirements. In addition, O-3 dependents of an O1 foreign national may petition for Adjustment of Status in order to become lawful permanent residents. They, like any other alien, can obtain a Green Card by entering the United States on an immigrant visa issued by a US consulate abroad or by adjusting their status in the United States through the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
