Q: Transfer from B2 to F1
I already have a F1 visa on which I was studying in New York but I had to go back to my country. Now I entered the country on B2 Visa that is expiring in April 16. I want to study here for my MBA , means I want to change my status to F1 visa that I already have. I would’ve applied for MBA but my bachelors degree is coming in March so I cannot apply for it in April.
Is there any way to change my status to F1 visa? Is there any short course that would renew my I20? Whats the best way for me to deal with this.
A: You need to have a consultation with an immigration attorney due to the possible complications of your fact pattern.
