B2 visa and change of status
Question details
I am currently in the U.S. with B2 visa. Can a company that intents to hire me, apply for a work permit on my behalf and change my status while I am in the U.S.?
You can, but it is almost never a good idea to convert from a B to a longer term visa. Please discuss the consequences with your lawyers.
Rajiv has provided excellent advise and support guidance to obtain B2 visa as he is not Eligible for Derivative Status.
