Is it possible to change the status of an F1 student visa
to an E2 business visa?

The short answer is Yes.

ICE News Release, July 6, 2020

SEVP modifies temporary exemptions for nonimmigrant students taking online courses during fall 2020 semester
WASHINGTON – The Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) announced modifications Monday to temporary exemptions for nonimmigrant students taking online classes due to the pandemic for the fall 2020 semester. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security plans to publish the procedures and responsibilities in the Federal Register as a Temporary Final Rule.

Fall 2020 Semester:
Nonimmigrant F-1 and M-1 students attending schools operating entirely online
may not take a full online course load and remain in the United States.

E2 Visa Strategy

In order to stay and work in the U.S. – an E2 Visa strategy can be used. The E2 Visa for business entrepreneurs does not have caps or limitations on number of visas issued.

HOWEVER, this E2 visa status change strategy requires careful planning. It is strongly recommended to work with an attorney who is Board Certified Attorney in Immigration and Nationality Law.

You must have a student visa to study in the United States. Your course of study and the type of school you plan to attend determine whether you need an F visa or an M visa.
