Change Your Visa Status to F-1 in Miami — Study English Legally in the U.S.

A Change of Status to F-1 in Miami is the process of requesting approval from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to adjust your current non-immigrant visa (such as B1/B2, H4, or other categories) to F-1 Student Status—without leaving the United States. This allows you to remain in Miami while transitioning into a full-time academic program.

This option is ideal for individuals who are already in the U.S. under a different visa type and want to begin studying English legally through a certified full-time program, such as Lingua Prime Miami’s Intensive English Program (IEP).
Our school assists students throughout the process, ensuring they meet the F-1 requirements and begin their studies smoothly and confidently.
