From F2 to F1

Dong

Hi, there
I'm a f1 student in US just graduated and applied for
OPT. I'm still waiting for OPT. My husband is going school(graduate school) with F2 visa. Now he is going
to Mexico to get F1 visa.
Since we don't have enough money to cover the expense on his I-20. He has his cousin put his name as financial sponsor. His cousin is green card holder.
I have a job offer already.
Is it helpful to take my offer letter with him to get the visa? or maybe worse?
Should he bring his monthly statement from band to prove he has some money also?
Is there any problem he need to be prepared?
Is it easy to change from F2 to F1 in Mexico lately?

Your husband doesn't need to leave the U.S. in order to
gain F-1 status. He could just apply for a change of
visa category. If at some future time he needs to
leave the U.S. and wants to return to continue his
studies, then he'd have to apply for an F-1 entry
visa at that time.

The documents you described don't present a problem
to my thinking. For the change of visa classification
you'll need some kind of financial proof, so these
would be fine, I believe.
