What is a Change of Status?

A Change of Status allows you to legally switch from your current non-immigrant visa category to another without leaving the U.S. This process is common for individuals who enter the country under one purpose but later qualify for another visa type—such as transitioning from a tourist visa to a student visa or from a student visa to an employment-based visa. To be eligible, you must be in lawful status at the time of application and meet the specific criteria for the new visa category.

Why Legal Support Matters

Filing for a change or extension of status involves more than just submitting forms. U.S. immigration authorities expect accurate documentation, timely submissions, and compelling reasons for the request. Mistakes or missing evidence can lead to delays, denials, or even jeopardize your legal standing.

At FN Immigration, we work closely with clients to assess eligibility, prepare strong petitions, and submit all required documentation correctly. If you’re married to a U.S. citizen, hold a job offer, or are in the U.S. under humanitarian provisions like asylum, we’ll guide you on the best path forward—whether through adjustment of status or another immigration strategy.
