Transfering from B1/B2(tourist visa) to F1(Students visa)

[bombshell]

Hi, everyone!

I was wondering is it hard to transfer from B1/B2 to F1 visa within the US? And if it better to transfer from within the US or in the homecountry? Just wondering. And how long does the procedure take in either ways? Any advice from people who had gone through the process will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

it is possible to change your status from within the usa......but there are high chances for rejection...........the best is to go to bulg and change it there and come back here..........!

Hi, all!
Thanks for the inputs on the situation. I contacted the Univ too, and they said that the transfer cannot be done within US, and that I have to go abroad. So sweet home Alabama (... hahaha.. just joking with the famous movie with this name), here I come! Thanks for the support, guys! Good luck to you and have a great day!

Yes you can do it in US or ur home country. Processing time depends on the location. Usually a week or 2 in States if all the paperwork is complete. Most schools have dedicated department that help with visa process and they have links that can speed up the process. Check with the school u are accepted and they usually guide u through the process.

You can just cross the border and come back in. Sometimes can be done at the airport. This is what I did.
