Study on H4 visa after 6 years completion

[gpallavi2]

Hi all,

I am on H4 visa which will expire in Sept 2011 since my husband will be completing 6 years on his H1B).
I am planning to do Masters course starting in Sept 2010 for 2 years on H4 visa in order to claim in state resident fee of Illinois, which fortunately Illinois state allows for H1B dependents.
But since my H4 visa is expiring in Sept 2011, I and my husband will be filing for an extension in Feb 2011 (6 months before expiry) based on our green card still in process (only I140 approved till date).
1. My question is will my H4 extension guarantee my Master completion without any disruption/gap/pause/difficulties?
2. On H4 extension (based on green card in process) will I have to pay in state or international student fee?

Thanks
Pallavi

USCIS Does not guaranty for any study.
It is upto you , how you are keeping your status .

If ISU accepts H4 and take in state fees, then you have to keep your H4 status through out the period /duration your MS course. If not (if you are not able to keep h4 status) you have to convert your H4 to F1 and pay outofstate fees or International Student fees to complete your course.
