Can You Switch from a Tourist Visa to a Student or Work Visa?
Yes, but it’s not automatic. To change from a tourist visa (B-1/B-2) to a student (F-1) or work (H-1B) visa, you must apply for a change of status with USCIS while still maintaining valid legal status. This includes submitting the proper forms, meeting eligibility criteria, and not violating your visa terms. At Lively Law Firm, we help clients navigate these applications and avoid legal pitfalls.
