Extention of B-2 Visa and Student Visa
My B-2 Visa expires in February/2010. I can not apply for the Student Visa now because I am moving of State. So I want to apply for the extension of my B-2 Visa and subsequently for the F-1 Visa. In this case the policy of changing the status into F-1 changes? Also, should I require for the extension of the B-2 Visa now or closer it's expiration?
Thank you.
Re: Extention of B-2 Visa and Student Visa
Applying for an extension of B1 is not advised without exceptional circumstances necessitating an extension of stay. A B2 visa is for visiting; it appears that you are atttempting to use it to live in the US until you can obtain admission to school.
You should return home and apply for an F1 visa once you have received your I-20.
