Srivani139 Posted May 7, 2017 Report Share Posted May 7, 2017 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 Link to comment

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. Link to comment
