There is nothing complex about change of status except you are new to visa terrain and US admission process.

Once you understand the school system and how it operates you’ll be very fine.

1. Understand that most school do admission for Fall, Summer, and Spring for most F-1 Student. Also, know the timeline for change of status process. It is very good for you to familiarize yourself with the process.

Now, let me reassure you, it is very easy. It is as easy as applying for EAD under economic hardship after one year of study and still get the application fee waived.


Note: You have to understand well how the school system operate.

Immigration application will always be complex to first time applicant, so the word complex captures those specific people.


There are people here who file their adjustment of status to green card by themselves without any help- I mean the NIW visa program. Is NIW a complex application? Absolutely yes. But you have to understand how it works and the requirements.


My advice for you is to go to the U.S. apply for school based on the one that would give you a good TL for you to apply for your change of status application. Check the school and how fast they issue admission decision. Make sure your coordinator are aware that you are in the U.S. and require a change of status.

Hey 🤠


** Yes there would be a bigger problem except you are ready to spend good $s for USA VISA attorney.


1 You can only undertake a recreational (non-credit) study as part of your Tourist/ Visit B1/B2 VISA while in the USA. The only way out is when you have obtained a change of status from USCIS (which is going to be an uphill battle) or through the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).

2. Although, most schools will not inquire about the immigration status of a student presently in the USA, be you legal or illegal resident but when you get into a jam with the law, injured during sports or altercations with other students, then that is when your status becomes a problem because once its discovered that the student is violating his or her visa, then the game is up you 're going back home.

3. Dont even try to change status to F1 upon arriving the USA except if you have indicated during your B1/B2 VISA application that you are a prospective student who is going on campus tours and trying to decide which University to attend. *

4. Otherwise , the USCIS would be very skeptical about your change of status to student (F-1) and put you under a microscope to figure out if you're just trying to dodge applying for F-1 visa from your home country.

5. If this (no.4 above) happens , your success with USCIS is 5% over 100% and you would have had a better chance applying for F1-VISA by facing a consular officer in your home country than facing a CIS Case Officer.

6. I will score your success rate to be 55% over 100 if you engage the service of a visa attorney and by this, you can apply to change status from within the USA . However, if you apply within 90 days of entry, you will still be presumed to have entered America for a different purpose intention to study
than the visa category you used for entry (B1-B2).

You cannot start school without a student permit..so firstly you apply for student visa which is different from your visiting visa and with all required document include medical test and bank statement and a strong sop then if it granted, you go to the land boarder for your student permit.

chatmate:
brother,

you posted this same question in USA student visa thread as well. If you want to change your status from visitor to study permit, you can apply to change the status in Canada and for the USA, it's possible but someone said its not advisable.


You can NOT start schooling there until after you changed visitors visa to study permit.

mamawa123:
Yes, you can if you are admitted to the school and the semester in question, have paid your tuition, and possess a valid study permit that allows you to study in Canada.

studycenter:
Retake IELTS or other English language proficiency test. A higher score will do you well in the pool.

You might want to consider taking the PTE test. It's easier to pass compared to IELTS.

Good Morning., Did you try tracking online or going to the passport office?

AussieJoan:
1. Decide on the state you want to study in.
2. Search for A1 level schools that offer the nursing program
3. Write your PTE
4. Send in your application (DIY or via an agent)
5. Get admission and pay the deposit to get your COE.
6. Prepare the necessary documents to file a visa (Passport, PTE, Financial documents, SOP e.tc)
7. Submit your Visa application
8. Go for your biometrics and medicals
9. Wait for your Visa Outcome
10. If Visa is granted, book a flight and travel to Australia

What's PTE?


With the current visa trend, getting a visa with a cheap school is very diffcult

Predator188:
This is just a Prerequisites program to prepare you for another program in degree or diploma whatever it is in health science related, probably a 1 year program..
But you can't assume that you have completed your studies after this as in getting a degree diploma or certificate.

Bobomaigida:
NO, expired passport is not acceptable. February is such a long time to get passport, go to the passport office you processed it and lay your complaint with the servicom desk, then also see the PCO of that office to complain.
