Hi all, I am asking this on behalf of a friend who is legally in the US as a visitor and want to get information to become a professional chef. I thought VisaJourney will be the best place to start question if that is even  possible to convert B1 to F1. Appreciate your help in advance.

Change of status while in the US is a risky enterprise. It can take a while, way past 6 months of authorized stay on B1 to get a decision. If denied, the friend may accrue enough days to get a 1 or 3 year ban.

 

It's much better to fulfill the promise of B1. Return home, apply for F1 and return on it.
