Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

H1 to F1 visa

I am currently on H1 visa. I would like to convert to F1 visa.

I have a valid I-20 currently.

1) Can I apply for Change of Status while being in the US?

2) If the application is not approved can I continue on existing H1 visa ?

3) Do I have to leave the country to get the F1 visa ?

Re: H1 to F1 visa

you should be able to change status from the h to the f. make sure to document your request carefully. i had a few cases recently and they seem to approve such conversions.
