Can a B1/B2 Visa be converted to a Student Visa once the individual is in the US?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
Visas are not currency - they cannot be "converted"; having one visa does not entitle you to getting another. A person who entered the U.S. on a visitor's visa can apply for a change of status to F1 if he/she is accepted to an accredited educational institution. Lying to the consular officer that you intend to just visit the U.S. while actually wishing to stay here on a student visa is not a good idea; and you would have to keep lying when the time will come to explain to U.S. Immigration Service why you did not apply for a student in the first place. This is called a visa fraud, and, if USCIS catches you on it, you will not be able to come to the U.S. for a long time, if ever.

Will I be denied re entry into the US due to previous immigration history?

Lynne Rogers Feldman
Answered by attorney Lynne Rogers Feldman
Immigration lawyer at Feldman Feldman Associates, PC
You will need to apply for a visitor visa and can't use the visa waiver. You will also be required to file a Section 212(d)(3) waiver for the overstay; explain why it happened, that you are reformed, just coming for a short visit, strong ties abroad, left voluntarily, etc. I recommend getting an attorney to assist.

Will marriage stop my boyfriend from being deported?

Pablo Husayn Nossa
Answered by attorney Pablo Husayn Nossa (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Nossa Law Office, P.C.
It depends on a number of factors including, how he entered the US initially, when he entered the US, the type of crime he may be convicted of and what your immigration status is. I would recommend contacting an experienced immigration attorney to discuss what if any relief is available.
