F1 To G4 Visa

Hi,

I am actually an international student on a F1 visa. I was wondering if it is possible for me to change my status over to a G4 visa as I am looking to work for an international organization. How would that work? Would I have to go back to my home country or can I do the change here in the States?

Thanks for your help.

If you hold a visa that already allows you to work at the international organization, such as an F-1 Student Visa with Optional Practical Training, a change of status may be possible from within the U.S.

You need to take care that you don't go out of status.
