ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi👋🏻 I had an ED visa before, now I have a covid stamp. I want to switch it to a work visa, but someone told me that this is not possible. Has anyone encountered such a situation, is there a solution?

Thank you for any advice!🙏🏻

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is seeking advice on transitioning from an ED visa, currently marked with a COVID stamp, to a work visa. There is ambiguity about whether this is possible, with commenters suggesting that obtaining a new job and cancelling the ED visa may be necessary before applying for a work visa.
