  • Want to change status from B-2 to F-1...but will take months, and school starts soon!

    I'm Canadian and currently in the US on a B-2 that expires Sept 30th. I have been admitted to a US graduate school and have my admission materials and I-20 from the school.
    1. However, if I leave the country to apply for the F-1 in Canada, I don't think I'll be re-admitted, due to the border closure;
    2. I can file an I-539 to change my B-2 to an F-1, but current processing times are 6+ months, and there's no premium processing available for the I-539.
    Do I have any options to start school on time? The school says that I can't enroll without a valid F-1...but I don't see any avenue to acquire it in the next 3 weeks before classes start.

    Anyone else been in this situation or have any insight?
