Visa Pathways

U.S. Visa Pathways and SEVIS Transfers

We've supported hundreds of change of status cases and F-1 transfers across nearly every visa type. Here are the most common transitions we support.

Change of Status Options

For U.S. Visa Holders in the U.S. looking to avoid H-1B sponsorship or high fees, we help you switch to a F1 Visa. This allows you to enroll in a graduate program while qualifying for Day 1 CPT work authorization.

I'm on a J-1 Visa

If you’re in the U.S. on a J-1 visa, we guide you through changing to F-1 status before your DS-2019 expires. This ensures you can stay, continue your studies, and gain eligibility for paid work from the first day.

I'm on a B-1 / B-2 Visa

For those on a B1 or B2 tourist visa, we manage your change of status so you can enroll in a graduate program and begin earning paid work while studying, all without leaving the U.S.

I'm Interested in SEVIS Transfer

If you’re already on an F-1 visa but want to move to a new program, we handle your SEVIS transfer to confirm enrollment, maintain your status, and secure work authorization throughout the transition.

I'm an ESL Student

Students currently in an ESL program can smoothly transition to a graduate program on F-1 status. We manage the transfer process to ensure your enrollment and work eligibility continue without interruption.

I'm Outside the U.S.

Ideal for those outside America and interested in working and studying in the USA. We work individually so you ace your F-1 visa interview and secure your student visa and arrival.

Leading Executive Degree Format

The executive program format gives international students affordable and accessible education and work in the U.S. With grants, interest-free payment plans, and work placement we make it easy to study abroad.
