Hi there,
my friend entered US on B1/B2 visa and he was given B2 entry as he was visiting his brother. Since he is a doctor in India, he completed USMLE exams on his previous visit. Now he got a chance of observership after entering US, but hospital wants him to be on B1. How can he change B2 to B1 on I-94? Hospital suggested him to visit POE, does he need to visit same airport he entered in US? Does he need to take prior appointment to meet immigration officer? How much time it takes to get this process done?
He is a lecturer in west-indies. He can go and come back again with offer letter from hospital. In that case he will be entering on B1. Will this be a better and faster route than meeting immigration officer at POE?
