Changing from L1 to F1 - PLEASE HELP

[sundarvenkata]

Hi All,

I am in the US on an L1 visa. I got admitted into a University in the US and I got an I20 too. I am planning to do a change of status from L1 visa to F1 visa. What do I need to do?

Is this question so tricky that everyone is dragging their feet to answer this?

Thanks,
Sundar

Re: Pitfalls involved

Sir,

Thanks much for your information.

Can you let me know any of the pit falls involved in this. I am currently working for a company headquartered in India. How long does the processing of this take and in the interim if I quit my job do I lose my status?

Thanks for your patience,
Sundar

Hi Sundar,

I'm also planning to change L1 to F1. Can you please help on the process and risks in this.
