Can I change my B tourist visa while in USA to a student visa.

Harun Kazmi
Answered by attorney Harun Kazmi
Immigration lawyer at Kazmi & Sakata
Yes. The processing will allow you to stay while the case is pending. You should do it before you quit school. The maximum time you can request is 6 months. You will also need to provide a valid reason on why you need the time and how you will support yourself during that time.

You wrote Question: Do I need to leave US after I married to US citizen and my student visa expires? RESPONSE: Generally you do not have to do that. If you filed for Adjustment when you were in the U.S. and "in" status you can stay in the U.S. while the I-130/AOS case is pending. YOU WROTE: Question Detail: I just got married with US citizen and I have F1 student visa. RESPONSE: Congrats on your recent nuptials. You wrote: After 20 days, I will be overstaying because I lost my scholarship. I can't go to school anymore. My visa will expire in 2016. Can I apply for green card? RESPONSE: If you were "in status" at the time you filed your AOS case then you can stay in the U.S. until the case is processed. YOU WROTE: I heard that the fee for the green card is $1500. Is that right? Can I stay in US while I am waiting for my green card? RESPONSE: You should check the website for the fees for the submissions you will be making. In general, folks who filed for the I-130 and I-485 when they are in-status can stay in the U.S. There are nuances to this however and it is recommended that you enlist a competent legal practitioner to guide you with regard to this matter.

It may be possible to transfer from a pending B2 application to H1B without leaving the US. The B2 application if not yet adjudicated by the time that the H1B petition is being adjudicated is looked upon as a “bridge” application. USCIS will look to see whether the bridge application is approvable. If so, it could favorably adjudicate the H1B transfer petition if that also looks approvable. In such case, it might be in your interest to withdraw the B2 application if USCIS did not act on it prior to making the favorable H1B adjudication.
