H4 to H1

[Ynad]

Hello everyone,

I am currently on H4 and my visa expires in June. My husband and I are going through a rough time and he decided to not extend my H4.
I was pursuing my MBA on H4 and left with 6 credits for course completion (which I can complete in a semester) and I also work on my EAD.
In the meantime I applied for H1 and my lottery has been picked.
What are my options after June to continue my stay so my approval goes without any issues?

Is it wise to,

• stay in US 240 days after my H4 expires since now I have a visa in process?
• Or should I leave the country to get a stamping?
• should I request my employer to process my H1 approval in premium?
• Or should I try converting my status now to F1 and finish my studies in the meantime while waiting for my H1 approval?
• Or do I just have to leave the US after June since I won't be on any status?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
