caathy Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 Hi,I am currently studying in XXXXXX university on H4. I would be applying for Change of Status to F1 in January 2015(spring semester). As OPT eligibility is 1 yr, i am thinking to take a break for Spring 2015 semester. During the break, will the change of status decision/approval be affected. As I will not be enrolled in any course/credits during that time.What are the eligibility criteria of H4 to F1 COS i.e should be enrolled (take minimum number of credits) in the university during the COS procedure?I would really appreciate your help/advice.Thanks!!

ashuneel Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 to be on F1 you need to be enrolled as full time students which is 8 credit hours at least unless approved by DSO. your goal should be to complete degree and not find ways to do CPT/OPT. Link to comment
