Withdrawal from H4 to F1 COS application? wrt H4 EAD law

[SatyaNC99]

Hi All,

 

I applied for COS H4 to F1 on Nov 26th 2014 thro USCIS ELIS. Now the status is still pending. 

 

In light of the new EAD Rule, I will be eligible for EAD and so I am considering to remain on H4 as I can avail the benefits of instate tuition and off campus jobs. Could you please help me to know whether this is a right thing to do now considering my situation?

 

Please help me with the process of withdrawing COS application. Can I specify the same reason? 

 

Also, does this law allow eligible H4s to start up a business?

 

Your help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Satya.

You just send USCIS a letter with the case number requesting withdrawal of the I-539.

No reason needs to be given.

The EAD allows a person to work anywhere, including his or her own company.
