Hello guys My wife was on h1b and moved to h4 to pursue a first masters . She is planning to move to f1 via applying for change of status. I know this takes time but we want to apply anyway given that we don’t have immediate plans to go to India. I wanted some advice on the following things from anyone who went through this process 1. What is address to which we should send the docs to ? I see online that if your i797 starts with EAC vs WAC send to different places. Is that accurate ? 2. I saw online that the processing time varies by center where it is evaluated. Is that true ?
Can’t she be in h4 and do the masters? And then get back on h1 after she gets a job?
She can.. but has only 1.5 yrs left ... instead we were hoping to use opt to and apply for perm during that time and then be secure about h-b extension
How can you show you maintained status when you have immigrant intent on a non-immigrant visa?
Changing to F1 and parallely trying for PERM and I140 is a huge risk. F1 doesn't allow immigrant intent. Also, which legit company processes PERM application when the employee isn't even working with them and studying?

Why did she get off h1b visa? Lost job?
She quit becoz she wanted to pursue higher studies
She could still study while on H1b. Just trying to understand more. Getting back on H1b could be hard with the lottery and all..
