Hi,
My husband is currently on H4 and started his Masters in January. He is planning to go to F1 now. But we are confused whether we should go by Change of status through USCIS or apply for F1 visa directly. We cannot go back to India for F1 visa but can go to Canada. My husband is Permanent Resident of Canada and my PR application is also in process. We are not sure when I will get my PR so he plans to work for atleast sometime in USA until I get my PR. That is the major reason for him to change from H4 to F1. But some people have told COS is a safer way to get F1 rather than direct F1 stamping from Canada. COS is a long wait so we prefer F1 visa in Canada if it is not too risky. Please advise.
