they don't issue Non-O visas to be a teacher here inside the country. You're talking about a Non-B visa/extension and whether they can cancel that and then go to an ED visa without leaving the country is between them, the school they enroll in and the immigration office they use. Ashley ********

, is your friend a volunteer teacher? If not, it should be Non-B visa for teaching or extension based on teaching.Activity
