B2 to F1 change of status

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
Under the law, an individual in the United States under a B-2 status is not allowed to go to school until the F-1 change of status is approved. This of course can bring about some awkward timing issues as U.S.C.I.S. does not adjudicate change of status applications very quickly. Generally speaking, your type of adjudication usually takes three – four months to complete. That is why your university is deferring your course until January. U.S.C.I.S. will generally adjudicate an application on the basis of the I-20 form which is submitted with the application. It will not usually ask for another I-20 unless the time of schooling on the I-20 has already ended. It is highly doubtful that there would be any problem with the school's action.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

How much money does it take to file for my mother?

Jaclyn Michele Miller
Answered by attorney Jaclyn Michele Miller (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Offices of Jaclyn M. Miller, P.C.
If you do not earn enough money you can just get a co-sponsor for the affidavit of support. If you give me a call perhaps we can discuss this further.

How can I or my parents sponsor my sister who overstayed her tourist visa?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
Your sister may be eligible for adjustment of status through a petition concurrently filed by either parent if she is still under the age of 21. Otherwise, either you or your parents can petition for her and she can then apply for her immigrant visa through consular processing at the US consulate when her priority date becomes current or when a visa number is available for her. Unfortunately, if she is 21 years of age or older she is no longer considered an immediate relative and is not eligible for the provisional waiver. She must actually depart the US to attend her visa interview before she can apply for a non-provisional waiver.
