Change of status from tourist to student approved in one month

Let me tell you how we got this request approved without paying premium processing fees.

Imagine you entered the United States on a tourist visa and want to stay to study. However, time is not on your side. Even so, you trust the process and embark on submitting your application just one day before your authorized tourist stay expires. It sounds very risky, right? Well, I'm not lying. I'm talking about a real case of a client we helped with their Change of Status application, and it was approved within a month.

I'll tell you step by step what we took into account to achieve its APPROVAL, and what you should also know if you want to make a Change of Status in the United States.

Verify that you meet the requirements:
Before starting the process, make sure you meet all the necessary requirements.
1. Valid passport.
2. Have your valid legal tourist status.
3. Have the financial means to cover the costs of your studies.
4. Demonstrate ties to your country of origin.

Apply to a certified school:
You must be accepted into an educational institution certified by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP).
If you don't know where to look for the school, here's a link where you can find it: https://studyinthestates.dhs.gov/school-search

Request Form I-20
Once you are admitted, the school will send you Form I-20, Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status. Don't forget to verify that the information on the form is correct.

Pay the SEVIS I-901 fee
You must pay the SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) I-901 fee. I'll explain what you need to have on hand to make your payment.

– Access to the SEVIS I-901 payment website: https://www.fmjfee.com/i901fee/index.html
– Information from Form I-20 to complete the payment.

Request your Change of Status in two (2) weeks

When you enter the United States and your original reason for coming changes, you can request to change your nonimmigrant status to a different status before your authorized stay in the USA expires. For example, you entered as an au pair and want to stay to study.

If you don't know where to start to apply for a Change of Status, or if you're even unsure whether you qualify, the best thing to do is take an eligibility test, which you can do at the following link: https://shorturl.at/aclW6

If you need to complete your process on your own schedule, without complications, in Spanish, and with guidance from a lawyer, you should:

COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS FOR CHANGE OF STATUS:
– To have entered the USA legally.
– Have a valid stay throughout the entire process.
– Financial capacity to cover housing and study costs.
– Demonstrate ties to your country of origin. There's more!

FOLLOW THESE STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO CHANGE YOUR STATUS:

  1. Register at: https://app.asisvisa.com/sign-up
  2. Go to: https://asisvisa.com
  3. Click on the "Services" option in the main menu, and then select "Change Status." To begin the process, click the "Get it Now!" button. (located at the bottom of the webpage)
  4. Now you can complete your process independently from our app

HOW LONG DOES THE STATUS CHANGE TAKE?
The average processing time is 8 to 14 months. During this time, you can remain in the USA.

NOTE: Although it seems simple, we recommend seeking professional guidance.

If you switch to F1, make sure you always use the same SEVIS number on your I-20 form.

If your application is denied, you will accumulate irregular presence from the expiration of your I94/I20/DS-2019, as applicable.
