Case Summary.

Avalon Paul helped a client win approval of an I-539 extension of her visitor status while she repositioned her longer-term immigration plans. With an O-1 originally on the table, the strategy shifted toward enrolling in school and changing to student status, and the approved extension kept her lawfully in the U.S. while that path took shape.
