Sid_OptExtension Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Questions: 1) Can I change my visa status from F1 OPT to H4 without applying for Change of Status by directly going to US Embassy since I am in India right now as I heard it is considered as consular processing for H4 ? 2) Is it mandatory that I should apply change of status from F1 to H4 then only go to US Embassy for H4 Visa Stamping even though if I am in India i.e out side of USA ? Background: I came to USA in July 2013 on H4 Visa and enrolled in College , changed my visa status from H4 to F1 in Dec 2013 and Currently I am on F1 OPT. Right now, I am in India for vacation and want to change my F1 OPT visa status back to H4. Link to comment
