I came to US in 2009 to do my MBA on a F1 visa and moved back to India after graduating. I am currently in US on a H4 visa and was wondering if i could go back and continue with the program in the same school(2nd Specialization) because my F1 visa in my passport says it is valid till 2013 but my I20 is not valid. Will I be able to change it to F1 and study so that I can get an OPT and work later. :(

I think H4 itself has provisions for study....best thing to do is go speak to the International Admissions Office in your school. They should be able to give you the best advice.
