Applicants for Change of Status to F-1 Student No Longer Need to Submit Subsequent Applications to ‘Bridge the Gap’. You forgot to tell this in this video but in a short you did mention it.
When you apply for a change of status to F-1 student (meaning you're already in the US with another visa type and want to switch to an F-1 visa for studying), your current visa might expire before your F-1 application is approved. To avoid a gap in your legal status during this time, you might have needed to file an additional application, like changing to a B-2 visitor visa (which allows for tourism), to "bridge the gap" until the F-1 is approved.
Hi Sir I am here in us with a valid b1b2 visa for 4 years. I have three questions, please 1) How long it takes to change from b1b2 to f1 visa 2) I learned that it may take from 6 months to 12 months in this case what about I-94 expiration. 3) How does it cost if I need you to change my status to f1. ??
A quick question sir: If I am invited to visit a college and while I am in the US, the college accepted my application, is there any problem converting the visa to F1? And also for my future, for example, if I want to come back to my country?
sir I have f1 visa as an international student. I had problems with the immigration they said I entered too early for my f1 visa. I should have a visitor visa first which I don’t have. That’s why they gave me a waiver and said I need to go out of the country like going to canada or mexico before it expires and change or update my status and re-enter again before fall semester starts
Me and my whole family applied for B2 Tourist visa back in 2022. I want to study in the US. So if I change my change my visa status to F1 visa, will that affect my other family member’s visa?
Sir a quick question! The “school” mentioned here is a college or university right and not a normal high school or a government public school. One more question is this only possible for students or tourists over 18? Or can a minor come in tourist visa who has local guardians in the country and can possibly change the purpose of visit?
Yes, "school" refers to college/university. Tourist visas are for tourism, changing to study likely requires a new visa. Let's schedule a one-on-one call to discuss more specifics. 👉 Schedule a call by clicking the link: calendly.com/jacobsapochnick or visit www.immigrationASAP.com

I left the US after completion and my I-20 was terminated. Can I still visit the US again on my B1/B2 visa which is still valid?
No, you do not need to give a visa interview again for converting a B1/B2 visa to an F-1 visa if you are already in the United States. You can change your status from B-1/B-2 to F-1 by filing an Application for Change of Status (Form I-129) with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). If your application is approved, you will receive an updated Form I-94 Arrival/Departure Record that will show your new F-1 status.

In general, enrolling in a course of study, such as an English language course, while in the United States in B1/B2 status should not be a problem for you if your main purpose for being in the United States is tourism or business. However, it's important to note that when you are in the United States in B1/B2 status, you are expected to comply with the terms and conditions of your visa. This includes not engaging in unauthorized work or study. Enrolling in a full-time course of study, such as a 3-months English course with 12 hours per week, may be seen as a violation of the terms of your B1/B2 visa. You should also be aware that if you are planning to change your status to another nonimmigrant category, such as F1 student visa, it's recommended to not enroll in any course of study until you have received the new status, and make sure you inform the college or educational institution where you plan to study about your current B1/B2 status, as they may have different policies about enrolling students who are in that status.
