Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

Re: H4 visa to F1 Visa

I would need more information regarding this case before I can comment on it properly.

As a H-4 visa holder, I am under the impression that you are either the �Spouse� or �Child� of a H1, H2, or H3 visa holder who is a temporary worker here in the US for a period of time.

Is this correct?

With regard to the F-1 and M-1 visas, these are for persons entering America for full-time education. What I would like to know is where will your spouse be living? Will he/she still be here in America?

I am asking you this because part of the criteria for applying for a F1 visa is that you must have sufficient funds available for self support during the entire proposed period of study and immigration will want to see proof.

Moreover, you must maintain a home (residence abroad) while you are here in the US studying in order to get the visa.

Have you received the 1-20 form as yet from the school/college where you plan to attend?
