F1 to H4 - Visa status

[einy10]

Hi there,

My F1 has got approved and I have received the letter from the INS stating the same. I haven't yet got the visa stamped on my passport. My passport shows H4 visa. In this scenario, what is my status in US.

Due to unaviodable circumstances, I am unable to join school. Hence I might have to cancel my F1. Please advice, as to whether it makes any sense in filing 539.
If my passport shows H4, will it be OK, if I ignore the F1. Or do I have to cancel it and return back to H4?

Please advice.

Your assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks

look in the approval...

If there is a I94 with F1 approval? If not you can choose not to go on F1. If there is a I94, it is better to get another I94. Either you can do a 539, or visit border and get a new I94
