Can I convert my B-1/B-2 Visa to a Student Visa?
If you are in the U.S. on a B Visa, then you can apply for a COS (change of status), from a B-1/B-2 Visa to a F1/M1 Student Visa.
Keep in mind to apply way before your Visa expires by filing the I-539 Form.
Having a school certificate prior to entry in the U.S. will be considered enough evidence for the “preconceived student intent” which will help you convert.
There are a few reasons why you can’t use the VWP and need to apply for the B-2 Visa instead.
Those reason can be:
you traveled to Iran, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Yemen and Somalia after March 1, 2011;
you have dual nationality in one of the countries mentioned above; you’ve been denied entry in the U.S. before, you are not a citizen of the countries in the VWP list and you overstayed your last Visa.
Why is the United States a popular tourist destination?
Apart from the diverse culture and beautiful nature it has, the U.S. has over 35,000 museums.

Some exhibit the rich history of the United States, while others concentrate on modern inventions, which is a very important part of tourism because it attracts many foreign visitors!
