Change of status refers to the process of applying for a new nonimmigrant category while in the United States. For example, an individual in B-2 visitor status may apply for a change of status to F-1 student status. Change of employer/information refers to the process of reporting a change in employment or other relevant information to USCIS while in the same nonimmigrant status. This may include reporting a new address, a new employer, or a change in educational level.
