Why Would You Change Your Immigration Status?

Nonimmigrants decide to change their status all the time and for many different reasons. As a highly experienced immigration law firm, our team is ready to help you change your nonimmigrant status quickly and effectively, no matter why you want to make that change.

We can help people change their status due to:

• Finding employment
• Investing in a business
• Attending school
• Getting married
• Extending a vacation
• And many more reasons

Of course, not everyone can change their non-immigration status easily. The nuances in USCIS regulations can make it difficult to find out your options, which is the main reason why people come to us for help. We can check to see if you are eligible to change your status based on your unique situation.

Furthermore, for anyone to change their status, they must meet these prerequisites:

• Entered the U.S. lawfully and with a nonimmigrant visa.
• Still holds a valid, unexpired nonimmigrant status.
• Current status conditions have not been violated.
• Has not committed any crimes that would cause ineligibility.

Filing a Change of Status Form

The typical legal avenue for changing your status as a nonimmigrant is to file for change of status with the USCIS. Retrieving and filing this form can be costly, so we encourage you to let our team handle it from start to finish. You can be certain that it will be completed and filed according to all legal requirements, so you do not risk wasting time and money by filing two or more times.

The USCIS change of status form can be used to change or extend non-immigration statuses for these reasons:

• Nonimmigrant wants to extend their stay in the country.
• Nonimmigrant wants to change to a different nonimmigrant status.
• F and M nonimmigrants are seeking reinstatement.
• Nonimmigrants are seeking to obtain or extend V status.
• Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) non-resident wants to apply for nonimmigrant status.
