Hello,

I am on H4 right now in US and thinking of going on F1 in the next month as I got an admission in a university. My question is do I need to go for F1 stamping to India or I can just file COS here to USCIS and study without stamping and then apply for OPT??


Thanks
 
I think you can do either of the option
1) You can go to India and get F1 stamp - this will allow you to leave and reenter US in future on F1 visa with valid documents (I20 etc)
2) You can also apply for COS in US and it will be good - but whenever you leave the country to come back you will need Visa
