Change of Status

Lehi Change of Status Attorneys

What Is a Change of Status?  

A change of status is a legal process by which an individual moves from one nonimmigrant visa category to another. A common example is changing from a tourist to a student/business visa. It is important to note that this is not the same as an “adjustment of status,” which involves changing from a nonimmigrant visa to an immigrant visa (i.e., obtaining permanent residency).

If you are interested in changing your immigration status and want to know how to accomplish this feat, contact ImmiVisa Law Group. Our experienced attorneys are prepared to provide clear information and timely guidance that can simplify the path ahead of you. Across decades, we have served thousands in Utah and Salt Lake counties and beyond. Today, you can leverage our wealth of experience. 

Schedule a consultation with one of our Lehi change of status lawyers by calling (385) 644-1859 or reaching out online. Virtual consultations are available for your convenience.

Eligibility for a Change of Status  

Not everyone is eligible for a change of status. Generally, the following conditions need to be met:   

  • You must be in the U.S. with a valid nonimmigrant visa
  • You must have not violated your current visa status
  • The new visa category you want to switch to must allow for a change of status    

Additionally, each specific visa category has its own set of requirements and eligibility criteria. It is important to consult with an experienced immigration attorney, such as ours at ImmiVisa Law Group, to determine if you meet the requirements for your desired change of status.   

When to Change Your Status from a Visitor to a Student

We frequently assist individuals who come to Utah and other parts of the U.S. to visit and wish to stay and study at institutions like the University of Utah and Brigham Young University, among others. If you are in this situation, you should be sure to apply for a change of status before your program begins. 

Start your petition as soon as possible, as processing can be time-consuming. If the school year is nearing and you have not heard back from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services regarding your petition, contact your designated school official and consult us.
