H4 EAD to F1 visa conversion

Hi,

I have H4 visa with EAD.

Is it better to pursue a study program on F1 or H4 visa with EAD.

Is it possible to convert to F1 towards the end of second semester, if I complete two semesters of program as full time student on H4 status.

If I convert to F1 from H4 in the Last semester will I be eligible to apply for F1 OPT.

Are there any risks involved in converting from H4 with EAD to F1 status because F1 is non-immigrant visa and H4  is dual intent since I have 
   H4 EAD.

Look forward to your reply

 

Thanks & Regards

Eligibility of OPT varies from one university to other. You need to ask the school DSO regarding eligibility. You can study on H-4. F-1 conversion should be fine if the university is good.
