saurabh23ke Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 Hello,I'm an H1B visa holder since 2012. I'm getting married in March 2014 and my fiancee is from India. She's also planning to pursue her Master's in US. Currently she's applying to different universities. After getting married, we are planning to apply for her H4 visa (in March 2014) and once she's in US we'll apply to convert visa from H4 to F1 (in May/June 2014).I'd like to know if there are any possible complications to acquire H4 visa when she has accepted an admission offer from one of the university in US? Or should we directly apply for F1 visa rather than applying for H4 visa?

omshiv Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 are you aware that she can study on H4? if your intention is that she get a job after studying then she can always do a COS from H4 to F1...that way it is easier. she might be rejected for F1.

HelpMeForum Posted October 17, 2013 Report Posted October 17, 2013 Yes, I agree, ask her to take F1 visa, this is the best option of all, even if she studies on H4, later you have to convert to F1.
