At this point, it is worth consulting an immigration attorney and get proper advise. A child born to Indian Citizen's before 3 December 2004 can apply for Indian Citizenship when he/she is of full age. Please check Indian citizenship rules at http://mha.nic.in/citizenship/acquisition.htm...

when F1 -> H1B status change is approved, then dual intent is also recognized by the govt. F1 is non immigrant visa, but that has nothing to do with H1 visa or change of status from F1 to H1. You might want to refer to the following USCIS web site. http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/h1b.htm...

Here is the Time line TSC ( New Orleans district office) PD : Feb 2003 FP : Apr 2003 Interview : Feb 2004 (Scheduled this month)
