You cannot change non immigrant visa categories without leaving the country. You could change reason for your extension of stay from attending a school to one for working or teaching but the problem is getting a work permit application accepted to get a work permit application approval letter needed to apply for the extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the University is ready to give the letter, is it difficult to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but you still need documents from the ministry of education. If teaching at a university it may be easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she entered with a on-o visa she could apply for a extension for being a member of your family after you get your extension of stay based upon teaching.

sandysp Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Ok.. I am doing phd now and got offer to do post doc in another University.

A visa is normally issued by a embassy or consulate and extensions are done at immigration. Immigration cannot change non immigrant visas categories. The only way to get a non-b visa while in the country requires you to of entered the country visa exempt or a tourist visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
