CASE: Change of Status from B-2 to F-1
CLIENT: Filipina
LOCATION: Houston, TX
Our client came to the United States on April 23, 2013 from the Philippines with a valid B-2 visitor’s visa. Towards the end of her legal status in the United States, she decided to pursue her education here and wanted to get an F-1 status. She enrolled in a community college for an associate’s degree program. After her school issued the I-20, she contacted our office. She retained our office on July 24, 2013.
Once retained we helped our client obtain supporting documents for the Change of Status. On July 29, 2013, we filed the I-539 Change of Status application to the USCIS. On October 10, 2013, the Change of Status was approved. Our client is now on valid F-1 status.
