Visa stamping with reduced course load

[h4tof1visa]

I was approved my change of status application about 8 months ago from my H-4 status and have been doing my program full-time on F1.

 

My i-20 is valid until May 2014. I completed most of my courses and this fall semester will be my last semester. I only have to take 2 courses to finish my studies and so my department has asked me to fill the reduced workload application. I was told that once I submit this form, it will be reported on my SEVIS. I am now making plans to travel to India to attend a wedding. 

Will there be any problem during my stamping?

No problem. Just explain the reason for filling that form, you are good to go..>!!!

Thanks Rahul412 for replying. 

 

I will be doing my stamping in September and my graduation is in December.  I am worried if they will say that you have only two months and so you can do it on H4. For this I am thinking of saying "I have to continue my graduate assistanship and so I would want to be on F1 status" - Will this be a good reason?

 

Or may be they will ask me what are my plans after graduating in December which is a tricky question to answer. I guess if I say I plan to work on OPT, it will mean that I intend to stay back. 

 

I would appreciate if you can give me some pointers here.

If it is true, you can of course say that.
