I am in H-4 status and have an I-485 pending. Am I allowed to apply for a change of status to F-1?

Answer

Having a pending I-485 would not automatically prevent a person from applying for a change of status to F-1. But, the USCIS would likely deny the F-1 application based on immigrant intent. (24.Aug.2022)
