Change of Status
Many non-immigrants enter the United Status in one status and may decide to change to another nonimmigrant status while in the United States. This can be done if the nonimmigrant entered lawfully/legally with a nonimmigrant visa, that nonimmigrant visa is still valid, and he/she has not committed a crime that would render him/her ineligible.
Visa Extensions
Visa Extensions or Extensions of Stay can be granted if an individual is eligible for an extension of his/her current nonimmigrant status and the extension is applied for before the expiration of the individual's authorized stay in the United States.
