If I’m a international student on F1 visa, how can I change it to a visitor visa and stay here for another 3 months?
My visa expires at the end of this month. I”d like to travel around and visit my friends and relatives and explores the new places and do a leisure tour. I have had filmaking, acting and screenwriting workshops for the past 8 months.

Hello. You can file for a change of status to a tourist and request up to 6 months. You must provide strong proof of your intent, finances and plans. The case may take a few months to get an answer. During that time you will be authorized to stay. I would be happy to help process. Feel free to email at: [email protected]
