Change of status from B2 to F2 inside USA
I am currently studying on F1 visa and will take 1 more year to graduate. My wife has been studying in Canada on student visa. She got B2 visa before I got mine F1. So, after I came to USA she visited me 2 times before and left in 1 or 2 months. This time she came to visit me but got pregnant surprisingly which changed our plan. Now she does not want to continue study in Canada right now and therefore don’t want to go back to Canada. So, can she apply to change her status from inside the U.S. from B2 to F2? Is there any risk of rejection?
