Hi everyone. I am an international student who got accepted to a college in new york...I have no funds to show that i can pay for school to get the students visa, however, I have a visitors visa that expires in may. I will be traveling to the states before it expires. I was planning on getting a job while im there to pay for at least the first semester and school starts in September 2011. Can my visitors visa be converted to a students visa????

You cannot work on a visitor's visa. And I believe you will have to apply separately for a visitor's visa and interview at your home embassy.

From Visitor -> Student -> Immigrant Visa..? You are moving rather quick what's your rush..? You stated you have a student visa but not unable to pay..didnt you show financial proof? Go and cancel it since you cant afford it.. the visitor's visa isnt for that purpose... just make things bad fi the other people dem who truly deserve it..!

So which one is it - you're overstaying visitor visa hoping to AOS based off of an application filed for your mother by your grandmother, or marrying someone, or attempting to get a student visa?

Based on what I have read, you ARE NOT an international student - you would be if you had a student status, since you don't, you're not an international student.

OP - You opened several topics describing different situations/immigration scenarios having you as the main character. You need to decide who you really are and what are you planning to do. Good luck figuring that out.

Almost impossible to get accepted into a university in the US as an international student with zero ability to pay for tuition. Since showing ability to pay is a requirement for admission
