Fight Against Corruption

I wanted to draw your attention to this important petition that I recently signed:

"National Campaign Against Corruption - Petition to the Prime Minister of India"
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/killcorruption/

I really think this is an important cause, and I'd like to encourage you to add your signature, too. It's free and takes just a few seconds of your time.

H4 to F1 Visa Conversion Procedure

This post is very useful for those who are in US and who want to convert to F1 visa from H4. You need to plan for it atleast 3 to 6 months before applying for F1 as you need financial statement/bank balance or properties in India to support your education.

Following are the main documents that you have to work on as you have to get these documents from outside exclusively for this process ...

1. Maintain and get bank balance required by the university and get the official bank statement for 3 to 6 months from bank
2. Get the Sevis form from your college
3. Pay SEVIS fee 200$s @ https://www.fmjfee.com/i901fee/ and get the receipt
4. Get the check or Money Order for 300$s on "U.S. Department of Homeland Security"
5. Fill form I-539 online and have a print out of it and sign on it
6. Get your Spouse's employment letter

There are few other documents required for this process and I guess everybody will have those by default.

Colleges for Dependant (H4) Visa People

Most colleges will ask for GRE, TOEFL scores, some may ask only TOEFL.

Some colleges will not ask in case the dependant person completes 1 year in US.

In California community colleges will treat outsiders as residents after staying 1 year in California. You need to show proof for 1 year completion in California like Utility bill, State ID ... etc. As state resident you will get concession in fee.

Following colleges are some CA based private colleges located in Bayarea for MS ...
