H4 to F1 Visa query

[fundo_h1b]

Hello,

My wife is on H4 visa and looking to get her F1 visa stamped from India.

1. As per US immigration laws, what will be a better course of action: Start studies on H4 visa, apply for COS from H4 to F1 and go for F1 visa stamping in future OR go for F1 visa stamping in India?

2. I am in US and will be financially supporting her during her studies. Will this fact support her F1 visa application or should we show a proof of funding from India or does it not matter?

3. Will it be better to show a proof of address or correspondence from India or US?

4. If everything goes well, how long usually it takes for F1 visa stamping?

Any other comments or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks,
