Will h4 visa holder considered as international students?

Answer 1

Yes, H4 is just about the worst type of international visa holder you can possibly be. As H4 students, no matter how long we have resided in the U.S., or how long we have been waiting for our damn greencard to pass, we not only are considered international students, but also will get VERY MINIMAL financial aid from colleges all over the country. That is excluding top ivies such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc. HOwever, if you think about it, what are the chances of international students like us(ESPECIALLY if we're asian) to get into top ivies? We are competing with people for the 5% slot of every university not to mention millions of applicants from all over the hardworking countries of Asia.

Answer 2

Yes, H4 visa holders would typically be considered international students if they are attending a school or university in a different country than the one they hold their H4 visa for. The H4 visa is a dependent visa granted to the spouse and children of H1B visa holders, who are temporary foreign workers in the United States.
