Study
in B-1/B-2 Immigration Classification
As of April 12, 2002, U.S. Federal regulations (8CFR 214.2(b)
and 248.1(c)) prohibit visitors in B-1/B-2 immigration status
from enrolling as full-time students. Prior to beginning
a full-time course of study, B-1/B-2 visitors must apply
for and be approved for a change of status to F-1 or J-1
student classification by the Immigration and Naturalization
Service.
Visitors in B-1/B-2 status may take a class
that is considered short-term and recreational in nature
(e.g. one English language class or a sports or music class).
If you are in B-1 or B-2 immigration classification and
are interested in attending Boston University, please consult
with an advisor at the ISSO for guidance on maintaining
lawful status.
