Changing your status from H-4 to F-1 was perfectly legal, but you have changed your status for perhaps no reason. An H-4 may study in the US without changing status to F-1. If you are asked about your prior status(es)you need to be 100% candid, or you could be barred from reentering teh US for misrepresentation.
