How long may I stay on my F-1 student visa?

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛How long may I stay on my F-1 student visa?

When you enter the United States on a student visa, you will usually be admitted for the duration of your student status. That means you may stay as long as you are a full time student, even if the F-1 visa in your passport expires while you are in America. For a student who has completed the course of studies shown on the I-20, and any authorized practical training, the student is allowed the following additional time in the U.S. before departure:

F-1 student - An additional 60 days, to prepare for departure from the U.S. or to transfer to another school.
M-1 student - An additional 30 days to depart the U.S. (Fixed time period, in total not to exceed one year). The 30 days to prepare for departure is permitted as long as the student maintained a full course of study and maintained status. An M student may receive extensions up to three years for the total program.
As an example regarding duration of status, if you have a visa that is valid for five years that will expire on January 1, 2001, and you are admitted into the U.S. for the duration of your studies (often abbreviated in your passport or on your I-94 card as "D/S"), you may stay in the U.S. as long as you are a full time student. Even if January 1, 2001 passes and your visa expires while in America, you will still be in legal student status. However, if you depart the U.S. with an expired visa, you will need to obtain a new one before being able to return to America and resume your studies. A student visa cannot be renewed or re-issued in the United States; it must be done at an Embassy or Consulate abroad.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

  • 枫下茶话 / 美国话题 / F1 和B1/2签证可以同时持有吗?
    要入加拿大国籍了,不甘心失去回中国的便利。现在是F1签证,能不能在申请一个b1/b2? 若可行,请指点。
    • 我的理解是美国的有效移民身份状态在同一时刻只能有一个,所以F1 和B1/2签证不可以同时持有。如不正确请指教。但TN1签证和H1-B签证可以同时持有吗?请指点。
    • F1是长期签证,只要符合注册要求,你可以合法进出美国。申请什么签证和你赴美的目的相关。你申请B1、B2签证用什么理由呢?以前一个朋友在美国,F1,她老公在欧洲读书,寒假到美国玩,申请B2,签证官问他为什么不申请F2。
      • 我自己也是这样认为的--不太可行。这么折腾,初衷就是想申请个10年美签,继续保留中国护照有效!回国也便利,在北美也方便。
        只听说有不少人这么做的,但自己琢磨不透该如何操作。
        • 你用F1回国不便利吗?
          • 年底就该换成加拿大护照了,麻烦会来了。
            听说过那加拿大护照回国,出国时要强制办理注销户口的事情。国内还有些东西哪有那么容易就脱手的,还指望着身份证办好多事情呢。在可见的未来,回中国是首选项,要是常驻几个月~~~~
            • 你不会用中国护照回国?
            • 目前为止,加拿大护照回国,出国时要强制办理注销户口的事情还是谣言。以后会不会是真的不知道。
    • 同时持有肯定可以。我当初就是同时有F1和B1/B2。想用哪个在入境时申明即可。不过我那时是先有的B签证,再有的F。你现在已经有F1在美国,再签B还真不好找理由。等F到期应该可以再签B了,即使你已经入加藉。
      • I don't think you can hold both F1 and B1/2 at same time. As long as you are full time student, the law requires you hold F1. In your case you acturally changed your status from B1/2 to F1 when your applying your F1.
        • 我的亲身经历都有人不信。签证只决定你以何种身份进入美国。拥有两个不同签证跟你在美国的IMMIGRATION STATUS没有冲突,在入境时可以选择用F1还是B1/B2,在美国时你只有一种STATUS,你的选择决定了你在美国境内的身份。你如果选择B1/B2入境是不能上学的。
          • TN1签证和H1-B签证可以同时持有吗?请指点。
            • I didn't have this kind of experience, but I would say no, you can't hold TN and H1-B at the same time. TN for Canadians is a status, not a visa. You cannot have both TN and H1-B statuses .
          • You said you got your B visa first, then got you F1. Let me ask you a question: when you got into US with F1 visa, you will get " D/S" stamped on you passport/visa, do you know what " D/S" stands for?,

            • You are talking about statuses, not visas.
              You can have two different visas, but not statuses. With F1, your status in the US is student, or D/S on your passport. With B1/B2, shown on your passport is B1 or B2. Did you notice that B1/B2 visa is a perfect example for our discussion? You can hold B1 and B2 visas concurrently, but you have only one status when in the US, either B1 or B2, depending on your visit purpose.
