Required Documents for Change of Status Students
- Copy of Passport
- Current Visa Copy
- Copy of DS 2019 Form (only if applicant already has a J-1 visa)
- I-94 page (https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home)
- Payment of the Registration Fee ($125) (nonrefundable)
- Bank Statement (at least US$14280 and no older than 3 months)
- Sponsor Letter (in case the bank statement is not in applicant’s own name)
Change of status students are strongly advised to discuss their Change of Status strategy with a lawyer or legal advisor since, in addition to the documents above, they will also have to write a letter to USCIS explaining personal situation, why they want to change their status, and their future plans.
All applications are worked on after we have received the $125 registration fee receipt. It takes approximately 3-5 business days to evaluate applications after completion of all of the required documentation.
All the students can fill online applications using the following link: https://bauglobal.my.site.com/mentoracollege/s/
