What are the ways to transfer my B2 Visa to F1 visa? What are the documents that I need to submit?

Hi, venkatesh2050!

Greetings and WELCOME to the site! I just moved your question that you had posted in Introductions to this forum topic area so that it will get the most exposure to those who are best able to answer it. Introductions is for people to introduce themselves and we try to not ask questions there.

It can be a little confusing when first learning how to use this site! Your question will get noticed much more in this forum topic area.

We would appreciate it if you would return to Introductions sometime to tell us a little about yourself though, if you would be willing to do that.

Thanks!

You need to contact school's admission office and obtain I-20. Then submit I-20 with I-539 (download from USCIS Home Page (http://www.uscis.gov)), and financial documents. See instructions of I-539 for details.

You must submit all documents at least 90 days before expiration date on your I-94, or you will overstay the visa.

Safer and easier to apply for F-1 visa at the US consulate in your home country.
