Hi all :)

I am currently on H4 visa, and I can't legally work. I am 18, and finishing my high school (12th grade), and I want to work part-time while at school or maybe full time right after school ends - so I can get some cash before college (Houston Community College and/or University of Houston) starts. In order to work, I need F1 visa. How do I "swap" visas, and how long it is going to take? Thank you for any information :)

then you have to get to know someone and kinda stay with them for a few years, take a 'test' on the sham marriage, get rid of the body, etc. :D
