Also how long the process would take?
A:
Well this is a typical question I get from a lot my clients. You seem to have understood how the process works, there is a simple way to correct your entry. But it depends a lot on the country you are from. It is a detailed process so I suggest you talk to an immigration attorney in private on a phone or in person to know what you can do to adjust your entry status. All the best.
