The document required to change visa status appears to be an I-539.

By the way, the processing time for I-539 is in months.

In addition, it seems that the stay itself is legal as long as the I-539 is submitted.

You can pick up the keywords from the above link and do your own research first,
then consult an immigration Immigration Lawyer?
Immigration lawyers charge about $ 250- $ 300 an hour.

I think the F-1 is valid until the end of the program, so
you should also be aware of how long you have to be absent before UH will consider your program over.

You got F1visa and UH NICE issued I-20, right? ？

Since you said you are transferring to another school, you can get I-20 from another school...

You should not have to change visa status ！.

even if the school is open to short term travelers who don't need a visa.
Or the school itself does not require a visa （ Only for 90-day travelers or residents ）
Again, ask someone at the school office ？

Then, find a school that will issue an I-20 I-20.

However, there is no point in going out of your way to get an F1visa ？
for less than 2 months ？ I would have been happy with a regular ESTA.

I wonder.

The expiration of the I-20 is a more serious problem than the F1 visa.
If you do not attend school and do not transfer your I-20,
the school will report you to the Immigration Office.
Basically, if you want to change your status from F1 to B2, you need to ask a lawyer.
If you don't attend school until your status is complete, they will report you.
You will be deported.

Dear Mystery

Thank you for your comment. First of all, a correction and apology: it was Help, not Nice.
You are right. I chose UH from the language programs of several schools in Hawaii that were recommended by a Japanese study abroad agent. It was written in the enrollment registration that I should get a student visa regardless of the length of my stay. I was told by a UH representative that I would need an I-20 from another school in order to transfer, so I visited several other schools, but the ones that issued I-20s had only 15 to 20 students per class, which was not the case for me. The schools that issued I-20s had between 15 and 20 students per class, and most of the classes at my level were Japanese. I thought this was not desirable from the standpoint of infection prevention, and there were few opportunities for students to speak up, which was the same as studying in Japan. The only English school in Waikiki that had a small class size of up to 8 students per class and few Japanese was an English school in Waikiki that did not issue I-20s. I also talked to a Japanese agent, but he told me that since I had already entered Japan once with a student visa, I would have to get my I-20 back and transfer to another school. I don't want to cause any more trouble for those around me, and I don't want to waste my remaining few days in Japan, so I will return to the UH program.
Thank you for your opinion.

There are many Japanese people in Hawaii.
If you want to learn English for a short time ！ then why not take the plunge and apply to a school on the mainland ？
This is just my opinion, so of course if you decide to go to UH, good luck!

Dear Language
Thank you for your comment. I would like to experience a full-fledged study abroad program over a long period of time if possible, but it is difficult to take long vacations when you are a working adult. However, I will not give up my dream and will do my best.
Thank you for your advice.

I am sure that when UH's face-to-face classes resume, many students will be back on campus,
so I am sure that you will spend more time immersed in English.
I am sure that you will be able to communicate with UH staff in English.
In my experience, solving problems in English is a good way to improve your English for living. I hope you enjoy your 2 months in and out of UH.

Dear Koji
Thank you for your comment.
Yes, I try to speak English as much as possible outside of class.
In addition to UH, I have decided to take private lessons in the evening at an English school in Waikiki.
I will do my best to show my results at work after I return home.
Thank you for your advice.
