Can a foreign-national change status while on H2B visa status?
An H2B visa can be changed to a number of other visa categories providing the visa holder qualifies for the next visa category. If the H2B worker does not wish to leave the U.S. when doing this transfer, the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) application or PETITION must be completed correctly. In the case of an F1 student visa, the educational institution has to be involved. If it is a B1/B2 tourist visa, a competent professional can assist you or you can even attempt it yourself. Perhaps you wish to go to an H1B or a Q visa. These two visa categories require an employer’s sponsorship. Always do your homework and read about the visa categories on the Internet first. USCIS’ website is a bit easier to read than it used to be. It is an unbiased resource so it is always a good place to start. www.uscis.gov
