I'm currently an au pair (J1), and because of Covid my visa is extended until March 2021. I'd like to study in the US (F1). I've started to research schools and the applications.
My preference would be to start school in Fall 2021, because of all the uncertainty with Covid and because trying to get the F1 approval done before Spring 2021 semester may be hard. Would it be possible to change to B2 (Prospective Student?) with I-539 in March when the J1 ends, have that valid for 6 months while I research and apply to schools, and then change to F1 with another I-539 for Fall 2021? Especially without leaving the country?
My aunt lives here so I could stay with her and she could support me during the Tourist Visa.
Thank you!
