Hi !!!
I am presently living in USA and I have planned to do MS(Computer Science) . I have all my certificates with me . Could you please suggest me a way to get my transcripts from India .
I also have another doubt . I am presently in H4 visa . Should I go to India to change my visa to F1 , if I get admission ?

Thanks,
Sanjana.

Writing to your university back home along with xerox attested copies of your originals that you have at present should suffice. However this changes from university to university.
I studied at Nagpur University-and they needed to see my originals in order to issue transcripts.(The officials also needed money on the side to get things done sooner).
As for visa status, I think it is possible to study using the H4 visa status. Best of luck! Do write if you think I can help you further.

Hi !!!
Thanks for the response . As you have mentioned , if I continue studying in H4 , I will not be able to do part-time jobs here . So I feel it would be better to change my visa to F1. What is your opinion regarding this ?

It is a matter of personal choice...I think.
This is a very nice discussion thread. Dont know if you saw it.
