Hello. I’m preparing to change status within the U.S. I’d like to know if my prior status disappears immediately once the change-of-status filing is received, or if it remains in effect until a result comes out.
Also, once I do this kind of Transfer, do I need to get a new visa?
And I’d like to know if there’s a chance the visa won’t be issued.

A change of status literally means changing your status, so thinking of it as a ‘Transfer’ can be confusing. Your prior status doesn’t disappear immediately — once the change-of-status application (under your new status) is filed and a result comes out, the previous status is then automatically extinguished. Also, after changing status, if you leave the U.S., you’ll need to separately apply for a visa matching your newly changed status, either abroad or in Korea. Since a separate consular interview is required, you can think of it as being essentially the same as applying for a brand-new visa.
