Dependent Status: Students who hold a dependent status are in the U.S. with parents or their spouse and their immigration status depends on this relationship and it is valid until the age of 21.

Independent Status: Some students may hold their own independent nonimmigrant status, such as:

If Students are planning to cease the activity of that status (employment or other obligations), they must change the status to an F-1 or J-1 student to remain legally in the U.S. and attend the University. The process to get an F-1 or J-1 entry visa are:
