If you are on H4 visa (dependent visa) you can go to school or college without a change in your visa
status. There are a few exceptions to the case, but if you are worried about applying for the student visa
(F1) to study, think again. It is possible to enroll in a college or school on a dependent visa.
Universities welcome international students with visa other than F-1 visa. The rules may vary and the
guidelines and admission policies tend to be a little different.
To get an admission for graduate degrees like M.S and MBA you will have to pass GRE (Graduate
Record Examination) and GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) respectively.
You will have to clear SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) or TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)
for undergraduate degree courses.
you study on the H4/L2 status, then you will get the &#39;resident low fee benefit&#39;. Normally you automatically
become the state resident, after completing 1 year of stay. But, if you plan to convert your visa status to
F1, then you will not be eligible to get this benefit. You will be charged the fee applicable to foreign
students which is much higher than the fee paid by residents.
There are many training institutes that offer courses, especially in computer sciences and software
development.

As a student, I understand the importance of aligning your studies with your future goals. For someone with this academic and professional background, it's important to choose a Master's program that not only interests you but also adds value to your existing skill set. Fields like Cybersecurity, Software Engineering, or even a specialized branch of IT could be a good fit. These areas are not only intellectually stimulating but also in high demand. It's also a good idea to engage in some networking with peers or professors to gain insights into the latest trends and opportunities in the field.
