    Default Tourist Visa May Expire Before F1 Is Approved

    Hi
    I am here in the usa in tourist visa,I applied to change my staus to F1 student visa on september 4th and i recieved anotification letter from uscis telling me that my case recieved but pending.
    My tourist visa expires on october 15 and I am really confused about what should I do if the uscis didn't send me any other notifications.
    Should I stay in usa after october 15 or I should leave the country before october 15??
    And if I stayed I will be legal or illegal??
    Thx for your help and waiting yr reply soon

    You aren't supposed to overstay your visa, meaning that if your tourist visa is going to expire before you have the new F1 visa you are supposed to go home.
