When can you change status in the USA without being subject to fraud/misrepresentation charges? The general answer is set forth below however this is only for information purposes and your situation may be different. Please ask for a consultation.

On September 1, 2017, the Department of State updated the Foreign Affairs Manual with new guidance on the term “misrepresentation” for purposes of determining inadmissibility under INA §212(a)(6), which provides:

Any alien who, by fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material fact, seeks to procure (or has sought to procure or has procured) a visa, other documentation, or admission into the United States or other benefit provided under this Act, is inadmissible.

Specifically, 9 FAM 302.9-4(B)(3)(g) and (h) have been substantially revised, the “30/60 Day Rule” has been eliminated, and new sections regarding status violations or “inconsistent conduct” within 90 days of entry, and after 90 days of entry have been added. The changes articulated in the FAM can have potentially significant consequences for individuals who apply for adjustment of status or change of status after entering the United States on a nonimmigrant visa or temporary basis.
