My wife is doing her masters and currently in her last semester. Last year we applied for H4 to F1 Transfer and 2 weeks back received an RFE related to financial documents. I think we can submit the documents and get it cleared but this month my i-140 got approved. So we can apply for H4 EAD.

So we are thinking whether to pursue the RFE and go for OPT or raise H4 EAD and withdraw the H4 to F1 .

Any advise on whether one visa has better opportunities than other. I heard F1 RFE will take 2 months and Opt another 3 months. So overall it may take 4-6 months and H4 EAD may take 6-10 months.

In this situation what is the better option.
