SP16-Change of Status to F-1 Form Type 4-20150825

I understand that I am requesting an "Initial Attendance – Change of Status Requested:" Select this form if you are currently in the United States and need to change nonimmigrant status to F or M student to study at your school.

The student must file an Application to Change Nonimmigrant Status (Form I-539) with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). You cannot file this I-20 to obtain an F-1 visa with US visa consulate.

Directions

You are currently in the United States in another visa status and would like to change status to F-1. You plan to apply for a Change of Status in the U.S.

In general, you may apply to change your nonimmigrant status while remaining in the United States if:

you were lawfully admitted to the United States in a nonimmigrant status;
your nonimmigrant status remains valid;
you have not violated the conditions of your status; and
you have not committed any crimes or engaged in any other actions that would make you ineligible for change of status.

Please fill out all of the following information and attach all of the requested documents. Remember that the asterisk (*) next to a field means that it is required.

For efficient processing of your request, please:

Submit all documents in English or with a true English translation made from the original document written in the foreign language. This can be done either by a professional translation done through a licensed translation service, or can be done by someone who is competent in both the foreign language and in English. In the case of the latter, the person should certify this with the following language:
- "I certify that I am competent to read and translate in and in English, and I certify that the translation performed above is a true translation taken from the original document written in." NAME, ADDRESS, DATE
Submit all documents in PDF format.
Include your ITU Student ID Number in the title of all submitted documents

USCIS requires an applicant to have a valid status up to a year from the program start date. Will your current visa status be valid while your F-1 application is pending with USCIS?

Please provide your full name as it appears in your passport.
