Change of Status Process
Change of Status applications are processed through United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). If you want to change your status from B1/2, J1/2, E1/2, or L1/2 to a student visa - F1 student visa, please contact the Language Academy (ECLA) so that we can review the procedures with you.
ECLA can provide the Change of Status I-20 once a student applies to ECLA, however ECLA cannot give advice nor recommendations to students. ECLA is not responsible for status changes.
