COSF1VisaQ Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hello, I am pursuing MS and It is my third semester. My current H4 visa is valid till April 2020 and My spouse H1 and my H4 extension are in progress. Can I apply COS from H4 to F1 while the H4 extension is in progress? If I happen to travel India or Canada to get F1 stamping and return to the United States in F1 visa while H4 extension is in progress. Would my H4 extension petition be abandoned as soon as I leave the country? If not and H4 extension gets approved after returning to the US on F1. will I continue to be in F-1 status based on my most recent entry in the US or my status will be H4 as per “Last Action Rule”. An early response would be highly appreciated. Best Regards, Quote Link to comment

If USCIS messes up and approved H4 after you are back on F1, you can just go out of the country and come back in to get a new I94 on F1. Quote Link to comment
