H4 to F1 - pros and cons


Recommended Posts

Hi 

I have moved to the US is 2008 and my green card application is still awaiting the visa availability. My daughter is more than likely to age-out before my green card is approved. Since she is getting ready to go off for college I had some related questions

1. Would she need to convert from H4 to F1 visa before being eligible for working on campus jobs?

2. Would that jeopardize the her eligibility for green card in the unlikely case my green card is approved before she turns 21?

3. Are there any other pitfalls of switching to F1?

4. Would she have to enter the use on her F1 or can she convert to F1 while staying in the US? 

5. Lastly , when ever I get my green card, is it true that I can then apply for her green card under F2B category ? I assume she would have to maintain her visa status till the time her green card will be approved ,correct?

Many thanks in advance

 

Regards,
