Sneha29 Posted November 9, 2020 Report Share Posted November 9, 2020 Hello, I am in India now. I am on H4 Visa which will expire on April 2021. Due to personal reasons, my husband left me and went to USA, so i could not go for stamping and lost my job in USA. So, i would like to change my status to F1 for my career. I already applied for Universities and waiting for i20's. Can you please advise me what are the process required for me to change the status to F1? Attending visa interview for F1 would be sufficient, since i am in India? Or do i have to fill i-539 and get it approved (i heard this is only if we reside in US). If i-539 is required, will i need my husband's documents? He will not sponsor me, since we are not together. Please advise. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 With the I-20 you apply for a visa at the consulate. That's it. I-539 is to change status while in the US. Quote Link to comment
