Change of Status Assistance Services
At AF Global Consultancy, we specialize in assisting individuals with changing their immigration status within the United States. Whether you’re a visitor on a B1/B2 visa looking to pursue academic studies under an F1 student visa, or you’re seeking employment-based options such as EB-3 visa programs, our experienced team is here to help guide you through the complex process — professionally and accurately.
What is Change of Status?
A change of status allows eligible nonimmigrants already present in the U.S. to switch from one visa classification to another without leaving the country. This is often a more convenient and less costly alternative to reapplying at a U.S. consulate abroad. However, the process requires careful timing, proper documentation, and strict adherence to immigration rules.
