Change of immigration status in the U.S.
We guide you in evaluating whether you can change your status within the United States, understanding requirements, timelines, documents, and next steps in a clear and organized way.
Before starting, we review whether your case has a viable path.
We analyze your current status, length of stay, legal entry, available documents, and immigration goal.
Case review
Requirement validation
Application path
An alternative for those who are already in the United States
A change of immigration status may allow you to modify your condition within the United States without leaving the country, as long as you meet the applicable requirements and maintain a valid immigration situation.
This process requires carefully reviewing your entry date, visa type, I-94, length of stay, academic documentation, and the path you wish to take. At GLS, we help you understand the process before making decisions.
Not all cases apply in the same way.
Each situation must be reviewed individually. Viability depends on your current status, documents, timelines, and immigration goal.
Why evaluate a change of status?
This process may be an alternative for people who are already in the United States and want to organize a new immigration or academic path.
Process from the U.S.
You can evaluate the possibility of completing the process without leaving the United States, according to your current immigration situation.
Legal stay during the process
In certain cases, you may remain legally in the United States while the application is being resolved.
Academic path
This process may be connected to an official institution, Form I-20, and a defined academic plan.
Documents and conditions that must be reviewed
Before moving forward, it is necessary to validate that your case meets the basic conditions of the process and that there is a coherent path according to your goal.
How we work on your case
We help you understand the process, organize the documentation, and move forward with a clearer path.
Initial assessment
We review your immigration situation, entry date, goal, and available documents.
Path validation
We identify whether a change of status is a coherent option for your case.
Document preparation
We guide you on documents, forms, timelines, and general requirements of the process.
Follow-up
We support you during the key stages so you can move forward with greater confidence.
Approval depends on immigration authorities.
GLS provides guidance and support throughout the process, but no agency can guarantee the approval of an immigration application. Each case depends on documents, timelines, official criteria, and individual situation.
