Hello everyone,

My name is Emma. I'm live in USA for 3 years now. I am holding F-1 visa and wondering. Can I change to K-1 Visa while I'm in USA? Because my boyfriend wants to try to stay together first before we get married. Can I change my status?

Thank you in advance.

K1 is a visa to enter the US.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

No you cannot change to a K1. You can apply for a k1 but you will have to leave the country to finish out the process. Then you'll have 90 days to marry after you've entered.

I can only suggest getting married then filing an I-130 or an i-485. Your situation may warrant an immigration lawyer. You may get a lot of questions going from F-1 to LPR.
