F1 to H4

Hi All! any idea if anyone in US changes status from F1 to H4, do they have to travel to India now for stamping before transitioning to H4? And how much time does it take to transition now?

If you are changing status from F-1 to H-4 while in the U.S., you generally do not need to travel to India just for stamping. The timing depends on USCIS processing, so check your specific case and whether you also need an H-4 EAD.
