Does anyone know the process for H1 to F1 conversion? The faq gives out this info about H4 to F1 conversion. Is it the same for H1 to F1. Thanx.
If you do #1, can you start attending school immediately or do u have to wait till the paper work comes thru?
There are two ways:
1. You can file for a status change with INS by sending in your application
through mail. You will have to check with your ISO or INS about the forms
and fees, etc. But this process of late has been taking a few months. If you
have to join school by then, consider, option 2.
2.Fly over to Juarez or some such place outside US and apply for F1. They
will need I20, proof of financial support, etc. - the normal stuff required
for F1.And the F1 might be issued.
