Can I Apply For Change Of Status From Another Non Immigrant Status To O-1? |
|
Answer» Yes, you MAY CHANGE status to O-1 when in the U.S. if you qualify as an O-1 alien. This OPTION is not available if you entered the U.S. without inspection or overstayed your authorized term of ADMISSION under the present status. Further, you may not change status in the U.S. if you are subject to the J-1 two-year foreign residency requirement and must obtain an O-1 visa at a U.S. Consulate overseas after the O-1 petition is APPROVED.
