B2签证不可在美国读书

janezhang

问：
您好， 请问我持B2签证第二次入境美国，可以游学3个月再回中国吗？会不会影响接下来的续签？ 第一次入境是呆了半个月。

答：
您游学的概念是什么？在学校读书吗？持有B2签证，在美国是不可以在学校读书的，除非申请的是时候，就告知是交流项目，如果想在美国读书，必须换成F1签证才可以。美国移民局有明文规定，以B1/B2签证来美国者，不可在美国学校读书。如果您只是临时来美国游览观光，并在停留允许期限内离开，是没有问题的，因为您所作，并没有违反任何美国移民局的规定。不过，美国签证官有权按照他们的判断，来决定是否签发签证给申请者，这里面有1%的因素无法控制，要取决于签证官。
问：
您好，美国的语言学校有一个文化观光专案，就是每周上15节课，每节课50分钟那种，专为B2签证开设的，我第一次入境是8个月前，以旅游的目的，这次入境想呆3个月，请问是不是呆这么久会影响接下来的续签？
答：
建议您如果想读书，最好换成F1签证。否则，您下次再签署B1签证，有可能因为违反移民法规定，而不必批准。关于B1签证持有人，不可以在美国读书这一点，美国移民局官网有严格说明：
Special Instructions for B-1/B-2 Visitors Who Want to Enroll in School
Is it permissible to enroll in school while in B-1/B-2 status?
No, it is not. The regulations, at 8 CFR 214.2(b)(7), specifically prohibit study in the United States while in B-1 or B-2 status.
Before enrolling in classes, individuals who are in B-1 or B-2 status must first acquire F-1 (academic student) or M-1 (vocational student) status. Enrolling in classes while in B-1/B-2 status will result in a status violation. Individuals in B-1 or B-2 status, who have violated their nonimmigrant status by enrolling in classes, are not eligible to extend their B status or change to F-1 or M-1 status. These regulations provide no exceptions.
How can I obtain F-1 or M-1 status?
If you currently hold B-1 or B-2 nonimmigrant status and would like to enroll in classes, you may apply for a change of status to F-1 or M-1, as appropriate, if:
You have not yet enrolled in classes
Your current status has not expired
You have not engaged in unauthorized employment
To change your nonimmigrant status from B-1/B-2 to F-1 or M-1, you must file an Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status (Form I-539), and include the required fee and documents listed in the filing instructions.
Please Note:
If you enroll in classes before USCIS approves your Form I-539, you will be ineligible to change your nonimmigrant status from B to F or M.
If you are applying to extend your B-1/B-2 stay and you have already enrolled in classes, USCIS cannot approve your B-1/B-2 extension because of the status violation.
What if I am not eligible?
If you are not eligible to change your nonimmigrant status to F-1 or M-1, you may apply for an F-1 or M-1 visa at a consular post abroad. For information about consular processing, please visit the Department of State’s website at www.state.gov/travel. For information about the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), please visit the SEVP website at: www.ice.gov/sevis.
We encourage all students and prospective students to work closely with their designated school official (DSO) to coordinate the timing of applying for change of status and enrolling in classes.
