ethan.73 Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi, I would be visiting USA on B1 visa and I intend to do my masters, which basically mean that I want to apply for COS (Change of status)from B1 to F1. I don't know how and when to initiate the process and I have few question about the same. 1. Do I have to disclose that my purpose of entry is to do my masters ? (many of them say its not required since I'm on B1) 2. If I have to start the process when can I start it once I enter USA ? (As per my knowledge after going through many websites it says 45 days after entering USA). 3. Since this is my First visit on B1 is it appropriate for me to go for COS ? 4. If I get COS done successfully, how long can I stay in USA ? 5. what are the chances of getting COS done successfully from B1 to F1 ? I posted the same questions on another forum they are talking about annotation.. how important is that. If I don't have that annotation will I not be able to go for COS. I would really appreciate if any one could help me answer this questions with precision and I need your guidance. I am very desperate and nervous as I have to start soon. And my intention is to get the COS done. Thank you.. Regards Ethan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
