Hello,
Currently I am on H1B visa and my employer has initiated the GC process for me. I got an RFE on my I-140 application which my employer will be responding to in few weeks. I have few questions/concerns regarding my wife's F1 stamping as she joined UConn to pursue her Masters. Currently she is on H4 visa and we are planning to go to India for my sister's wedding in March 2016, so thought to get her F1 stamping done at that time. Reason behind getting F1 stamping done is to avail the benefits of student visa and she get the summer internships. I am not sure how long it is going to take for my 140 to be approved so that I can file H4 EAD for her, so i thought we can go for F1 stamping. I can also apply for COS from H4 to F1 but her college's international student office told that it will take minimum 7-8 months to get the status change but once you leave the country that status would void. So my questions/concerns are :
1. Is it good and safe to get her F1 stamping done in India while we are there for my sister's marriage ? Does my GC process will affect her stamping ?
2. As we will be going in March 2016 and it will be mid of her 2 second semester, so is it allowed to get the F1 stamping done at that time ?
3. Even if her F1 is rejected, would she be able to travel on her H4 visa ?
