F1=>

  • On-campus job cheyochu,
  • GRA or GTA Cheyochu (Stipend + Fee Pay chestaru),
  • Summer lo internship kuda cheyochu,
  • End of masters OPT ostadi;
• Cons:
  • Out of state fee kattali.

H4 =>

• Pros:
  • Need to pay only In-state tuition if H1 holder is staying more than a year (applicable to most of the universities);
  • Can be a part-time student. 
• Cons:
  • No on-campus jobs or GRA or GTA
  • No CPT during the summer or OPT after the end of the masters.

Yes, H4 to F1 COS is around 6 to 8 months in USA. Consular processing aithe you need to give a valid reason for the COS to F1. Dual intent ledu ani convince cheyali
