How soon can a visitor (B2 status) in the US, enter college as a non international soon after filing for green card

An individual is considered to have violated nonimmigrant status if he or she studies in most situations while on a B-2 visiting visa. If your son still has time, it would probably be safer for him to begin studying after you file for his adjustment status application and after the B-2 visa status expires. He does not require a Social Security number to enroll in a college. He can obtain a Social Security number if he also applies for employment authorization at the same time that he applies for the green card. Employment authorization usually takes between 3-6 months after filing. With an employment authorization card, he can request a Social Security card from the Social Security Administration.
