I am in H-4 status. May I attend a U.S. college or university?
Yes. An H-4 derivative visa holder may not work, but may attend school while in H-4 status. H-4 status is available to spouses and children of H-1B visa holders. An H-4 visa holder is not required to obtain a separate F-1 student visa in order to enroll in school. However, if the principal H-1B visa holder’s status ends or expires, the H-4 student would need to change status to F-1 in order to continue his/her studies. Similarly, if the H-4 student is a derivative of his/her H-1B parent and the child turns 21 years old, he/she would need to change status to F-1 to continue in school.
Please don’t hesitate to contact our immigration law firm if you have questions or need assistance with H-4 or F-1 status.
