If you’re currently in the United States on a B1/B2 visa and want to continue your journey through education, you may have options to legally transition your status.
At STEM Study Abroad, we help individuals:
Change of Status (COS) refers to requesting permission from USCIS to transition from your current nonimmigrant status (such as B1/B2 visitor) to F-1 student status while remaining inside the United States.
In most cases, this requires filing Form I-539 with USCIS along with supporting documents.
You may be eligible to apply if:
End-to-End Support — Not Just Admission
School selection (based on your profile & budget)
Admission processing & I-20 guidance
Documentation review (financials, SOP, etc.)
Application filing assistance
Status maintenance guidance
Support until your program starts
The general process includes the following steps:
You must first secure admission and receive a Form I-20 from a SEVIS certified institution.
You are required to pay the SEVIS I-901 fee before filing your application.
Submit Form I-539 to USCIS either online or by mail.
Processing times may vary (typically several months).
