| CIPOLLA & PELUD P.C. IMMIGRATION LAW FIRM CONNECTING IMMIGRANTS TO AMERICA |
| Change of Status - Overview A non-immigrant (or in some cases the non-immigrant’s employer) that enters the United States for a specific intended purpose that wants to remain in the United States for a different purpose must apply to change their status so as to stay in the United States legally. For example, a student that enters the United States on a F1 Visa may find a job or get married. In that case, the non-immigrant must formally apply with the United States to change their status to the appropriate non-immigrant or immigrant status. The Immigration and Nationality Act and Code of Federal Regulations has detailed rules and regulations in which Non- Immigrant classes can and cannot change status. If you would like to change your status while in the United States, contact Cipolla & Pelud P.C. for a consultation. |
