I was attending school in F-1 status, and then applied for a change of status to H-4. Do I have to remain enrolled in school until the change of status is approved?
22 Nov 2023Answer
Ordinarily, it is permissible to stay in the U.S. based upon a pending application to change to H-4 status, assuming the person was in valid status at the time of filing. There would typically be no requirement that the person remain enrolled in school while waiting for the H-4 to be approved. (22.Nov.2023)
