Hi, I am in pending H4 status (from H1, filed one month ago). I need change to F1. But in pending status, ISSO does not want to give me I-20 till my H4 approval. Therefore, I could not file F1 right now. But I need catch the due date to be F1 to school, say, Jan 10th. Does ISSO do right? And, maybe later, I get F1 approval in the middle of semester. Am I eligible to apply for OPT at the end of this semester since I have finished 99 percent for Ph.D. degree so far and can graduate in May 2009? Thanks
