Can I convert my B-1/B-2 Visa to a Student Visa?
If you are in the U.S. on a B Visa, then you can apply for a COS (change of status), from a B-1/B-2 Visa to a F1/M1 Student Visa.
Keep in mind to apply way before your Visa expires by filing the I-539 Form.
Having a school certificate prior to entry in the U.S. will be considered enough evidence for the “preconceived student intent” which will help you convert.
What Documents Do YOU Need for a Visitor Visa?
In order to receive a B-2 Visa you must have the following documents:
a valid passport,
a visa photo,
DS-160 Form,
receipt of paid visa fees,
proof of financial means,
a letter with the purpose of your trip to the United States,
proof that you will return to your home country,
visa invitation letter from family/friends in the U.S. (optional),
criminal records,
transcripts/diploma (if you are a student),
a letter from your employer (if you are a worker),
proof of diagnosis and treatment from a doctor (if you are visiting for medical purposes) and social media details.
In order to be able to travel to the United States without a Visa, you must be part of the Visa Waiver Program (VWP), which allows citizens of the countries covered by this program to travel to the United States for a period of 90 days without applying for a Visa.
How long can I stay in the U.S. with a B-1/B-2 Visa?
The US B-1/B-2 Visa allows foreign visitors to stay for a maximum of 180 days.
If 180 days is not enough for you, make sure you apply for the Visa extension 42 days before your I-94 Card expires.
Also, keep in mind that you can’t apply for the extensions in the first three months of your stay in the United States.
What is the B-2 Visa quota?
One of the best things about this type of Visa, is that there is no quota.
Anyone can apply and get their Visa issued as long as they meet all the requirements and are qualified in the Visa interview.
