I am near the end of my internship, which I maintained through J-1 visa. I would like to apply for graduate school in the US and change it to F-1 visa. I have some questions:
1. If my status is pending for F1 visa in USA, can I apply for the college here?
Assume that there is enough time to get the visa before school starts:
2. What do I need to change my visa in USA?
3. After I change my visa through Graduate school in USA which is higher degree than what i have now, can I get F1 stamp in my home country?
