Hi Member,

Happy New Year!!

How do I change name on my son's H4 visa without having to go out of country. Later this year, my son is planning to switch from H4 to F1 visa I want to have name corrected in H4 visa before he files a change in visa from H4 to F1.
Answer: If you need any corrections on the visa, you will need to approach concern consulate to make the modifications. But as per my knowledge, until you go for next visa stamping, you are good to go with current visa along with old and new passports.
If you have a plan to get F1 status through consulate then you can correct it in the new visa as per new passport.

Thanks
