Hi!
i am currently in US on H4 visa which expires in dec 2006. I got admission in an M.S. degree prog. I ve recieved my I 20 and now will apply for my visa transfer to F1 to I 539
following are my queries:
1. I feel that if my documents are complete and I539 is properly filled the process is straight forward......... am i right?
2. If my F1 is approved do they cancel my H4 or my H4 also remains valid?
3. I plan to visit India in Dec. n will go for F1 stampin thr. what r my chances of F1 getting rejected.
4. If my F1 gets rejected do they cancel my H4 as well?
5. if F1 gets rejected i apply for a fresh H4 or a renewal of H4.
if u could answer these queries it wud b a gr8 help........

1. It should be.......but that also applies for every other visa category
2. Because the process is paper driven, the visa is not actually physically cancelled but you would cease to be in H-4 category
3. Dont know the answer to that
4. yes
5. apply for a fresh H4.......the cancellation doe snot preclud eyou from applying in the same or another category
