My wife is on H4 and our visa renewals are due before Aug,2021. Once our H1-H4 extensions are approved, we are planning to travel to home country. Also, i am planning to covert my wife’s visa to F1 (not by change of status but vising the home country) as she is already pursuing her MS. What would be a good suggestion? Should we get first H4 extension stamp and get her F1 visa later (within same trip)? Can we book 2 visa appointments (1 for H4 and 2nd for F1)

Any suggestions, as I have to travel only for the joining and traveling would be quite heavy on my pocket.
