Learn About B-1/B-2 to F-1 or M-1 Change of Status

Per federal regulations, B-1 and B-2 nonimmigrants (i.e., visitors who are in the United States for business and pleasure purposes) are prohibited from enrolling in a course of study at an SEVP-certified school. If a B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrant wishes to study at a U.S. school, they must file a Form I-539, “Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status,” with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

As many F-1 international students prepare to take their annual vacation, SEVP wants to remind them of the importance of maintaining their student status throughout their summer break and the upcoming academic year.

Share these resources from Study in the States with your F-1 students to help them maintain their student status.

The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) is the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program that administers the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). It ensures that government agencies have essential data related to nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors to preserve national security. SEVP provides approval and oversight to schools authorized to enroll F and M nonimmigrant students and gives guidance to both schools and students about the requirements for maintaining their status.
