Hey guys, I got a notice of approval after filing i-30. I'm already in US and I would like to change status as I came with tourist visa. I looked for a lawyer to help with all this but it's really expensive and I'm here not knowing what do do next. Can somebody kindly explain to me the next steps to take to change status

You will have to start all over when and if you file for AOS. It will just be like doing a brand new petition.
