In the United States, can I change my identity and apply for a visa in the United States?

Since business and tourist visas are relatively easy to obtain immigrant visas, many people apply for such visas to go to the United States and then find a suitable job or school during their stay in the United States. In this way, business and tourist visas can be converted into work visas or student visas, thereby achieving the purpose of changing status.

In the U.S. immigration law, relevant provisions have also been made for this, that is, Bl and B2 visas have the feature of being able to freely choose to change to other statuses. In other words, after entering the United States by applying for a B1 or B2 visa, you can freely change your status to any non-immigrant or immigrant status during your stay in the United States. Before the Bl and B2 visas are invalidated, applicants can submit multiple applications to the Immigration Bureau for status change. If multiple identities have passed the review by the Immigration Bureau, the applicant can only choose one of them as his or her changing status. However, in the process of applying for a visa conversion, there is still a problem of returning the visa. The so-called return visa refers to a new visa application submitted by the applicant after the Bl or B2 visa is invalidated. This requires the applicant to go out to the US consulate to apply for a visa again, and then re-enter the United States with the new visa and the converted status.
