關於B1/B2在美國境內轉換E1/E2簽證的問題

Can one change to E-1 or E-2 status from within the US?

Yes, the USCIS has the authority to approve a change to E-1 or E-2 status from another non-immigrant visa. However, once an applicant leaves the US, the applicant must apply for E Visa status at a consulate. Because the consulate can reject the application, one risks being put in a position where a substantial investment is made in a business in the US and then the applicant is unable to return to the US to run the business. Consequently, applicants are urged to exercise caution when first attempting to apply for E status in the US.


也就是說, 當初你如果乖乖在台灣辦E1/E2, 你就可以享有所有這類簽證的福利
which is 在簽證有效期間, 自由進出美國
但是, 如果你先拿B1/B2再求轉換
雖然可以, 不過, 你就要冒這個風險
有可能再次申請的時候會被拒絕
