USA: changement de statut B2 en F1 en étant sur place

This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Pas besoin de sortir du territoire. Il te faut faire une demande d'ajustement de statut: http://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/students-and-exchange-visitors/students-and-employment/special-instructions-b-1b-2-visitors-who-want-enroll-school
Sachant que c'est reconnu comme une voie plus difficile pour avoir un visa.

es tu sous visa B2 actuellement?
quand ton visa B2 se termine t-il?
as tu le doc i20 de ton ecole pour faire le visa F1?

oui je suis sous le visa B2 actuellement mon visa B2 se termine en 2019 mais mon I-94 se termine ce 5 juillet 2014 non j ai pas le doc I 20
est ce que le document i20 peut etre delivrer pour le high school?
car j ai pas encore le niveau du college
et si j applique des demain aurais je une chance?
je peut faire une demande de prolongation de mon sejour sans demander a changer mon statut?
etant mineur puis je avoir quelque faveur que ce soit?
et si je prenait un avocat pour me defendre vu que je suis venu avec mes parents et ils sont parti pour me laisser.

Tu ne peux pas "te défendre"...tu n'es pas en état d'arrestation ni de détention! Tu es en situation irrégulière, un avocat ne pourra rien pour toi.

Dans quelle ville es-tu?
Regarde si dans ta ville il y a un "international high school" (comme celle de Brooklyn), un réseau PUBLIC spécialisé dans l'accueil des mineurs y compris sans papiers (clairement, c'est le cas d'une majorité dans ces écoles, et ta situation, laissé sans parents pour avoir une chance de vie meilleure, y est bien connue). Vas-y AUJOURD'HUI et parle de ta situation. La plupart sont à NY ou autour, mais il y en a une à DC et deux en Californie.

Même si tu n'as pas de "transcripts" (ou bulletins), tu auras jusqu'à tes 20 ans, pourvu que tu n'aies pas le bac, pour obtenir les meilleures notes possibles, Regent's ou les tests de l'Etat, de hauts scores à l'ACT ou le SAT, etc. Je pense que tes parents ont fait un sacrifice énorme pour te donner toutes les chances dans la vie et en tant que mineur tu ne peux pas être renvoyé dans ton pays. Par contre, pour les conditions d'accueil, tout dépend de l'Etat où tu te trouves: dans le Vermont, le Michigan, l'Etat de New York, au Texas, tu seras considéré comme un "résident" si tu fais 4 ans et obtiens ton diplôme de HS. Dans l'Alabama, tu pourrais être mis en prison pour mineurs jusqu'à ta majorité et là, renvoyé dans le pays qu'on détermine être le tien en l'absence de papiers, généralement par rapport à la langue que tu parles couramment. (Si tu es jugé français, on te renvoie en France, si tu es jugé mexicain on te renvoie au Mexique, enfin, à la frontière... tout ça c'est théorique et compliqué pour les pays lointains pour les pays lointains.)

Oui, bon, en même temps il est Français, pas Irakien ou Rwandais 🤪 C'est pas comme s'il n'avait aucun avenir en France (un des pays avec les meilleurs avantages sociaux en passant!!).

IMMEDIATEMENT (oui oui j'insiste). Il n'est pas encore 14h, tu as 1-2h maxi pour arriver à l'école sachant que les cours de summer session se terminaient à 13h. Tu peux téléphoner avant mais c'est très difficile de parler au téléphone, donc c'est mieux de parler en personne. Car demain c'est le 4 juillet, une fête américaine très importante et donc jour férié, ensuite il y a le weekend, et tu seras coincé. Donc, c'est maintenant.
Quel niveau d'anglais as-tu? Quel niveau scolaire as-tu?
Tu peux dire cela (recopie sur un papier et lis-le, si nécessaire). Hello, My name is ...., I am (14 = fourteen? 15= fifteen?..). I am from Mali. I speak French. My parents left me here. I need help. I need to go to school. I don't know what to do. (ça veut dire: je m'appelle..., j'ai ... (14 ans, 15 ans...). Je suis du Mali. Je parle français. Mes parents m'ont laissé ici. J'ai besoin d'aide. J'ai besoin d'aller à l'école. Je ne sais pas quoi faire.)
Ils vont te demander: where do you live (où habites-tu) et tu peux répondre: I live with (... cousins, ça se prononce: cozinns; mon oncle = my uncle: un-n-keul; des gens du Mali: some people from Mali) what grade did you complete (quelle classes as-tu complétées?) : tu dois donner la classe la plus haute que tu as finie. par exemple, si tu as fait la cinquième (7 années d'école) tu dis "7th grade", si tu as fait la 4e (8 années d'école) tu dis 8th grade, si tu as fait moins tu dis le nombre d'années d'école "I went to school for 2/3/4 years" - ils ont l'habitude, même des élèves qui ne sont jamais allés à l'école, des élèves qui viennent de plein de systèmes différents... Les seuls élèves qu'ils ne peuvent pas prendre en charge sont ceux qui ont le bac.
Avec un peu de chance, il y aura quelqu'un qui parle français là-bas. :)
OKAY, GO!!!! :) Bonne chance, reviens nous dire ce qui est arrivé.

Hi everyone,
My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency? - When did you start preparing for the USMLE? - What advice would you give to someone still in medical school? - Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids? - Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency? - What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
