A person in H-4 status is allowed to attend school. However, H-4 visa holders can not obtain financial aid, and do not qualify for optional practical training (OPT) after completion of school. A spouse or child in H-4 visa status can choose to convert to F-1 student status, to obtain the benefits of that status.
