H1 to F1 while h1 is out of status

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA

Dear Sir/Madam

Since you are currently out of status, you have no option other than to exit, get stamping and reenter if and when your F1 visa is approved.

The only thing your unexpired I-94 does for you is to keep you from being illegally present, deportable, and banned for overstaying an authorized stay.

If you intend to live in the US, you really do need to understand your responsibilities for maintaining legal residency on nonimmigrant visas.
