U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced new policy guidance Tuesday aimed at easing application procedures for some nonimmigrants applying for a change of status to F-1 classification.
Key Points:
Additional Information: USCIS said the change would “reduce workloads and costs for both the applicants and USCIS.” The agency said it is in the process of updating the Form I-539 instructions to reflect the change in guidance. More information is available in USCIS’s policy alert and on its Changing to a Nonimmigrant F or M Student Status website.
