My opt ends in May 31st and my grace period ends by end of July. Even
though my H1B has been approved and will start in October 1st, I have
to leave USA by the end of July. To overcome this situation and to
stay in USA legally, I am applying to change my status from F-1 to F-2
as a dependent of my wife who is a student. My concern is the long
processing times. If my case for change of status is still pending by
October, would it be a problem when I try to get the H1B visa stamp by
going to Canada? What would happen to my application for change of
status when I try to get a H1B stamp? Does it create any conflict? Many thanks!
