Hi,

Currently my wife is holding an H4 visa and is enrolled in college. I am planning to convert her visa from H4 to F1 so that she can work part time and look for internship. When i did some research i found out that we can convert her visa from H4 to F1 in US itself without exiting the country and all we need to do is pay $300.00 as processing fees.

Question

1) How long does it take to process it?
2) How will they stamp the new F1 visa in her passport because i do not think so they are asking her original passport while shipping all the documents to Vermont/California Service Centers?
3) Does she have to go to the consulate to stamp the visa, if she exit US

Any help to guide me will be really appreciated
