On H4, want to study in the US

Registered Users (C)
Hi,
I am on a H4, my husband is on a H1B. I am planning to Give my GRE and then do my MS here in the US.
I had a few questions
1. Can I get any kind of Aid while I am in H4 or I have to switch to F1. I woul have completed one year in US at the time of applying so I should be eligible for the In State Feed.
2. My Husband has applied for I-485, If I switch to F1 now is it going to hamper the I-485 process and result in some complications

I may hopefully get my EAD card before I begin applying can this help me in getting some Aid

Thanks
Spe
 
H4 and school

You can attend school while on H4. However, you cannot get any kind of funding form the the school. To do that you need to switch to F1.
  In my case, my lawyer advised me to file H4 for my wife, wait for receipt notice before filing 485. Infact, he was so conservative that he did not allow my wife even to take the medical exam before getting the receipt notice. However, I saw on another lawyer\'s site that one can file for 485 while on F1.
  The best thing to do would be to file for 485 only without the EAD. Once you get the 485 receipt notice, go to the local INS office and they would issue you the EAD the same day. The whole process might take 2-3 months but can avoid any potential complications.

485 and F-1

F-1 is non-immigrant visa. Filing 485 clearly shows your intention so direct violation. Why don\'t you get EAD and use it for the work. you\'ll be more free as on F-1 you\'re allowed limited hrs. to work and that too only on campus. With EAD you can go a Mac or whatever, and attend the school also.
