Can you change M1 to green card ? While in the usa?

Generally, it is not possible to change your nonimmigrant status to a green card while remaining in the United States, especially if your original visa category does not have a direct pathway to permanent residency. The process of obtaining a green card usually involves a separate application, such as employer sponsorship, family sponsorship, or other immigration pathways. If you are in the United States on an M-1 visa and wish to become a permanent resident (green card holder), you would typically need to explore other options such as finding an employer willing to sponsor you for an employment-based green card or seeking family-based sponsorship if you have a qualifying family member who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.

No, holding an M1 visa in the United States does not directly lead to a green card. Even after completing the course and finding a job, M1 visa holders cannot directly adjust their status to permanent resident. The M1 visa is intended for vocational or non-academic studies and does not provide a direct path to permanent residency.

In general, it can be challenging to change your status from a tourist visa (B-1/B-2) to an M1 visa in the United States. The M1 visa is a nonimmigrant visa category specifically designed for individuals who wish to pursue vocational or nonacademic studies at a recognized vocational or nonacademic institution in the United States. To change your status from a tourist visa to an M1 visa, you would typically need to meet the requirements. It's important to note that changing from a tourist visa to an M1 visa is generally not the preferred method, as it is often recommended to apply for the appropriate visa category from your home country before traveling to the United States. Read the Visa Library article on M1 visa to know the requirements. visalibrary.com/north-america/us-visa/student-visa/m1-visa/

It is a complicated process and I am a bit confused. I am studying in Germany and I have the opportunity to do a four-month unpaid internship with a company in New York (I get a scholarship from Germany). I can't figure out which visa I should apply for. The M1 visa type is more related to study conditions and requires a lot of things. meanwhile the B1 visa is related to a business trip. Do you think it would be appropriate to apply for the b1 visa type instead of the others? Thanks for the information!

For a four-month unpaid internship in New York with a scholarship from Germany, the B1 visa might indeed be more appropriate than the M1 visa. The M1 visa is designed for vocational and non-academic studies, while the B1 visa caters to business-related visits, including certain types of internships and training programs. Ensure the internship meets the criteria for a B1 visa regarding the nature of the work and compensation. It's crucial to consult with the U.S. embassy or a visa expert to confirm the best visa option for your specific situation.

Yes, you can apply for a U.S. M1 visa to get your Private Pilot License (PPL). As for the bank statement, while having only 4 months of history might be shorter than usual, the key is to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to cover your tuition, living expenses, and other costs during your stay. You can explain your situation to the visa officer, showing that you have the necessary funds despite the shorter bank statement history. It may also help to provide additional financial documentation, like a letter from your bank or other proof of financial support.

To be eligible for an M1 visa in the United States, you must be accepted by an institution that is certified by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP). If the institution you have been admitted to is not SEVP-certified, you cannot obtain an M1 visa. The M1 visa is specifically for students who want to enroll in vocational studies in the United States at SEVP-certified institutions. The school must register you in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) and provide you with a Form I-20, which is required for the visa application process.

In order to apply for the US M1 visa, it is advised that you have proof of English proficiency such as IELTS, TOEFL, or other similar tests. Having IELTS scores will help you establish that you satisfy the immigration criteria and will boost the likelihood of your visa being accepted. Additionally, having IELTS scores might aid you with college applications, immigration, and job. As a result, it is strongly advised that candidates get IELTS scores while applying for the US M1 visa.

No, the M1 visa is designed for vocational and technical schools in the USA, but it does not typically allow for study in programs that lead to academic degrees. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) programs, often considered vocational, might be permitted under an M1 visa if the institution and program meet specific criteria set by the U.S. immigration authorities. However, it's essential to verify with the school and immigration officials to ensure the program qualifies under M1 visa provisions.

Can I change from M1 visa to EB3 visa in US..??
@visalibrary
6 ай бұрын
Changing from an M1 visa (for vocational or non-academic students) directly to an EB-3 visa (Employment-Based Immigration: Third Preference EB-3) within the United States involves a complex process with specific conditions and requirements. The EB-3 visa category is for skilled workers, professionals, or other workers for permanent employment in the U.S. Here's a general overview of the process and considerations: Job Offer and Labor Certification: To qualify for an EB-3 visa, you must first have a job offer from a U.S. employer in a position that qualifies under the EB-3 category. The employer must also obtain a labor certification (PERM) from the U.S. Department of Labor, proving that there are no willing or qualified U.S. workers available for the job, and that hiring a foreign worker will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers. Petition Filing: Once the labor certification is approved, your employer must file Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This petition must demonstrate that the employer has the ability to pay the offered wage from the time the labor certification application was filed and that you meet the qualifications for the job. Change of Status or Consular Processing: If you are in the U.S. on an M1 visa when the I-140 petition is approved and an EB-3 visa number is available, you may be eligible to apply for a change of status to an immigrant visa category by filing Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status. If you are not eligible to adjust status in the U.S., you may go through consular processing in your home country. Considerations: Changing from an M1 to an EB-3 visa involves several important considerations: Timing: The process can be lengthy due to the steps involved, including labor certification, petition approval, and visa number availability. You need to maintain lawful status in the U.S. during this time. Eligibility: You must meet the qualifications for the EB-3 category and have a valid M1 status during the process, up until you can apply for a change of status or leave for consular processing. Legal Guidance: Given the complexity of employment-based immigration and the potential for changes in immigration policies and procedures, consulting with an immigration attorney for personalized legal advice is highly recommended.
