Can a person on a visitor visa, if he/she is admitted to Rhodes College and obtains an I-20, be able to change his status to student?
No. Previously, United States law permitted persons entering on tourist, B-2 visas to change status to F-1 visas. That is no longer the case. A non-immigrant wishing to study in the United States must apply from their country of origin or residence if they wish to study in the United States on an F-1 visa.
