Hi,
I came to US to do my MS in 2006. After completion of my degree and working on OPT for a year, I had to change to H4 in 2009. I applied for a change of status from H4 to F-1 last month to start my PhD in Fall 2010 and was approved by USCIS. My husband is currently in the US on H1B. I am thinking of travelling to India to get my visa stamped. Worried about the visa interview. I have full scholarship and stipend from the university for my PhD. Do you think such cases are more prone to rejection by the visa officers since I am changing from a dual intent visa(H) to non immigrant visa (F)? Would you recommend travelling at this time? If you do, then what type of documents you think I should carry to the consulate in order to prove my non immigrant intent?
Thanks for your time. Hoping to hear from you soon.
