Yes, in many cases, you can apply to change your visa type after entering the U.S. You must file a request with USCIS before your current status expires and meet the eligibility requirements for the new visa. For example, a visitor (B-1/B-2) might apply to change to a student (F-1) or work (H-1B) visa, if eligible.

Changing your visa type while in the U.S. is possible, but it depends on your current status, your reason for switching, and whether the new category accepts changes of status. For example, if you're in the U.S. as a tourist but later want to attend school, you may apply to change to a student visa if you're accepted by a U.S. institution. Just be sure to apply early, follow all instructions, and avoid letting your current visa expire while your application is pending.

Yes, many people can apply to change their visa type after arriving in the U.S., as long as they’re still in legal status and meet the rules for the new visa. For example, if you come on a visitor visa but later want to study, you may be able to change to a student visa. The key is applying before your current status expires and making sure you follow the correct process.
