H4 Visa consultation is about to be signed face to face, and I am very nervous.

In your case, as you said, the hope of applying for H 1B is slim. Although some H4 visa holders can work legally from May 26th, 20 15, the so-called partial H4 visa holders mean that the holders of H 1B have reached the stage of I- 140 (if it is faster, it will take one or two years to pass) or they hold H1B. Then you can only study. If you apply for F 1 in China, you need to start applying a long time in advance. It is also possible to study in the United States as H4 and then transfer to F 1, without applying so long in advance. But no matter where you apply, the school will require language proof, TOEFL test and so on. Assuming all goes well, you graduate with F 1, and you need to apply for a work permit before graduation. If you find an employer within three months after graduation, you can legally work in the United States for F 1, 1~3 years (different majors give different time). There are 1~3 chances to participate in the H 1B lottery every April (completely random). There are 85,000 H 1B places every year, including 25,000 master's places. According to the data of 20 15, 230,000 people took part in the lottery to grab the 85,000 places, of which 70% were taken away by Indians. However, I think I can smoke symbolically when I graduate. It's good to win, but you didn't win. At that time, your husband's I- 140 will be almost the same, and his H4 status can work. You can also transfer your identity back.
