Can a person study full-time at Yale on a tourist visa (B-2)?
While there is no law, which prohibits someone in B-2 status from studying full-time, the consequences of doing so may be quite difficult for the student. A prospective student in B-2 status should always consult with OISS before beginning classes. Usually if a student enters to the U.S. on a B-2 tourist vias, it is very difficult to change to student status. It may require a trip out of the U.S. Persons in B-2 status may not be employed or receive compensation of any kind.
