Change to F1 Status

Applicants in the United States on a valid visa may be eligible to apply for a change of status to F-1 international student while remaining in the United States. One of the documents you need to apply for a change of status is an "I-20 Certificate of Eligibility for Non-immigrant Student Status" from an SEVP-certified school like Los Angeles City College (LACC).

Steps to Apply

Complete CCC Apply & F1 Supplemental Application

Admitted students will receive an I-20 Certificate of Eligibility for Non-immigrant Student Status (aka: "I-20") from LACC. You need this document to apply for a change of status to F-1 international student.

STEP 2: I-901 Fee

After obtaining an I-20, pay the I-901 SEVIS Fee. Keep a receipt. For more information on the I-901 SEVIS Fee and how to pay it, view Study in the States: Paying the I-901 Fee.

STEP 3: File Form I-539
