H4 to F1 visa stamp - to go or not to go

[prm]

Hi Everyone,

I had come to the US on H4 visa in mid 2007.

Even though I have Bachelors and Masters degrees from India, in Spring 08, I enrolled in an associate degree course in a local community college (bcz none of the state uni offered a course in the subject of my interest). Meanwhile, I also applied for the change of status (H4 to F1). I received the approval notice for my student visa (F1) couple of weeks ago.

Since I plan to visit India early next year, I want to know what are my chances of getting an F1 visa stamped by the consulate/embassy. I would like to add here that my husband is on an H1 (valid till 2010) and we have not applied for I 140 (though our PERM is already done).

Can anyone let me know how good or bad my chances are of getting an F1 (keeping in mind the fact that I study at a community college

and doing an associates degree after having received an Indian Masters) if I leave the country and re-enter?

Any advice/comments/suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks!

Low chances of approval as you are getting an associates degree after your Masters.
