H4 to F1 Change of Status


Recommended Posts

My wife is on an H-4 visa, We've got her admission to a Masters program for Fall-2020 while on H-4.

  • I know that if we would like to use certain benefits CPT and STEM OPT, we have to be a full-time student on F-1 Status.
  • Now that we can not travel to the home country and get an F-1 visa stamped for Change of status, also do it from here, it probably takes more than 10 months.

My question is: Can she start her Masters on H-4 now in Fall and in parallel apply for F-1 Change of status and when it gets approved her visa status will be changed, will she be then eligible for STEMP OPT whenever it is approved?

 

Please help, thank in advance.
