My F1 visa was denied twice this month, will it affect my H4 application?

I have a b1/b2 visa which I used to visit my sister in 2015.

I got an F2 visa to stay with my husband after my marriage in jan 2018.

I came to India in August 2018 and applied for F1 visa and was rejected twice with 214(b) slip.

Only my Passport and I-20 was viewed during both the interview. During the first interview the VO asked about my husband employment in the US, and when I said he was on F-1 she asked if it was F-1 OPT and denied my visa. During the second interview the VO pointed out that I have an active F2 visa and I already have a master s degree in India. After which she denied the Visa.

My husband is starting his H1B from October and I am planning to apply for H4 along with my husband. I am worried if my recent F1 denial will affect my H4 .

In case my H4 is denied can I travel to US in my b1/b2 visa and apply for COS. 

Thank you for your patience .

The CO had their doubts; why on earth go to school with a master under your belt? 

As long as there was no misrepresentation (lie) during the F1, the denials should not affect the H4. 

And no, you cannot enter on a b1/b2 with intent to COS. 

Finally, please stick to one thread on one topic, no duplicates.
