  • B1/B2 to F1 visa questions!!!

    I have a B1/B2 visa that I'm thinking about coverting into F1 visa when I get into the US I just have few questions:

    1- How long does it take to convert the B1/B2 visa into an F1 visa?
    2- If my visa gets converted into the F1 visa, does that mean my B1/B2 visa is cancelled and I have an F1 visa or what am I?
    2- Will it be possible to leave the country for few months(after the conversion of my B1/B2 visa into the F1) and then return back to the US with ease to continue my studies ?

    Thank you very much for answering!!!

    You may change status within the US by filing form I-539. However for changing from B1/B2 to F1 you will need to declare your intentions at the port of entry itself.
    2- If my visa gets converted into the F1 visa, does that mean my B1/B2 visa is cancelled and I have an F1 visa or what am I?
    Visa in your passport will remain the same, your status will change.
    2- Will it be possible to leave the country for few months(after the conversion of my B1/B2 visa into the F1) and then return back to the US with ease to continue my studies ?
    You will need to apply for an F1 visa at a consulate if you want to return to the US in F1 status.

    Thank you very much for answering!!!
    You will first need to get admitted into a qualified school and degree program before changing status.
    This is my opinion and not legal advice.
