CASE: Change of Status from B-2 to F-1
CLIENT: Filipina
LOCATION: Anaheim, CA
Our client came from the Philippines on a valid B-2 visa in February 2016. Later, she decided to study further in the United States and get admission. She retained our office for her I-539 Change of Status application to change her status from B-2 to F-1 to the USCIS.
Once retained, we helped our client obtain supporting documents for the Change of Status. We filed I-539 Change of Status application along with supporting documents to USCIS on May 19, 2016. In the application, we fully explained her financial ability to pursue her studies in the U.S., and reasons for her studies. Eventually, on October 11, 2016, the Change of Status was approved. Our client is now on F-1 and can start her program.
