Please share some experience if you have any. I have to change my status from F2 to F1. I just got admission with teaching assistantship starting from this spring. I can change my status by two ways either go Nepal and apply for F1 or fill I 539 and submit to USCIS. I am in trouble to decide what is better to do I have only one month left to start. I hope I will get good advice.
