My wife’s on H4 VISA, Currently we are thinking to apply for F1 for her studies.
Her new employer is planning to apply for new H1B in April 2016 - for a start of work from Oct 1st, 2016. My questions are below:
-
Can we apply the F1 for her now , and in April 2016 can Employer file H1 ? Is there any impact on H1B filing
-
While the new H1B application is pending, can she apply for a H4 to F1 transfer? We want to do this to save on H time in US.
-
Would it be a problem to get H4 transferred to F1 during this period?
-
If the F1 is approved and H1-B is approved too, Can she just start working based on H1B VISA?
-
She probably would stop studying if her H1 is approved - should the F1 VISA be reported as non-used or something else to Homeland Security?
Thanks for your help.
