To convert an ED visa to a 90 Days Non-Immigrant B Visa (Single-Entry), you need to obtain documents from your school indicating your end date of study. Following this, cancel your current education extension at the immigration office, apply for a 60-day COVID extension, and gather necessary documents from your new employer to apply for the 90-day Non-B visa at the immigration office. It's crucial to verify with your immigration office beforehand if this process is feasible, as requirements can vary.

that is between you, your school, who ever is pushing the paper for you (getting your documents together) AND the immigration office you're dealing with. GO talk to the immigration office and see if you can or can't apply for a Non-B off a cancelled ED extension on a covid stamp.
