If i want to change my visa status, what is my best bet?
Shoud I apply for F1 while in the US or should I go to Canada/Mexico to get it stamped? I am worried, that when I go to my home country, what if my visa gets rejected and tuition I have paid goes waste? I am currently on H4 visa and I have been accepted into a master’s program.

I suggest that the best way for you to take care of the matter that you are writing about is to consult with an immigration attorney in this country to go over the best course of action so as to not jeopardize your current visa status in this country. From what you have written, it is impossible to give you legal advice without knowing the full facts of your situation, how much time is left on your visa to be in this country and what is the country of your national origin.
