H1B to H4 COS?

[CarlosJustin]

Hi,

I am currently on an H1B visa, valid till May 2022. I have decided to resign from my job effective 7/31/2020. My wife has an H1B through her employer, valid till Dec 2022. On 5/22/2020, I submitted form I-539 to change my status from H1B to H4 dependent on my wife's H1B. I requested a start date of 8/1/2020 for the new status. https://showbox.bio/ https://tutuapp.uno/ https://vidmate.cool/

1. If I don't get my H4 change of status approved by 7/31/2020, will I have to leave the country right away? Or does the 60 day grace period apply in my situation as well?

2. If I can stay in the country, am I able to enroll in college in the US while the COS is pending?

Thanks!

1. No. You can stay in the US for as long as the Change of Status application is pending. You do remain in H1b status for 60 days after you resigned, so until 9/29, but you can still stay in the US after that.
2. yes, if the college allows it
