Re: F1 status & work permit

This doesn't sound OK to me, sorry...In order to continue in F1 status I believe you would need to re-enroll in full time study. However, I don't think it would make any difference if it was...

Re: F1 problems!

Hi Shahadat, glad to hear you got your visa. The only official requirements to clear immigration are your visa and your I-20; the acceptance letter is good to have too, but I've never heard of having...

Re: F1 problems!

Hi there...

I strongly suspect that they don't need new forms and photo as well as new I-20 and passport, but if you have a photo and have time to re-do the forms, it probably wouldn't hurt to...

Re: 'O' visa?

There's no deadline, or quota, you can apply anytime. How long it might take is a bit "how long is a piece of string" -- it will take a while, probably at least a month, to prepare the application,...

Re: Is this an impossible dream? I have to do it!

I don't really have any specific advice other than what's already been given, but I would say that while it's true lots of Americans want to work in your field, being British is a major advantage....

Re: B2 for cohabiting partner of F1

Yes, if he's granted a B2 visa he can ask to be admitted for ten months at the port of entry. If they only give him six months, then while he's in the US he can apply for an extension, which just...

Re: Possible Grief from the wife !!!!!!

You probably wouldn't remember returning your I-94, but 99 times out of 100 it's whipped out of your passport and stuck in a box by the airline check-in person. Most likely you didn't even notice...

Re: A pending I-485 doesn't shield VWP overstays.

Re: How should I go about this?

Re: UK citizen looking for a way to move to the USA in order to live with American gf

I know, I was a student in the US for several years. As you say, others had already impressed upon the OP the expense aspect, hence there was no need for me to repeat it. And getting the visa is the...

Re: B1/B2 UK or Irish Passport

I've read some similar things, but it's in the context of British citizens of Pakistani heritage. There was even talk about ending the VWP for this reason. But assuming your name doesn't indicate...

Re: Ph.D. opportunities

When you say post doc posts, you mean non-academic jobs? It's possible that those colleagues did get H1bs, which were much easier to get a few years back, and they've been running out earlier and...

Re: Boyfriend returning to US, can I go with him?

Re: Can You Get A Student Visa For The USA Whilst Undertaking An Apprenticeship?

Not quite true. While it's not at all clear to me whether what the OP proposes is potentially feasible, you can be paid for off-campus work while on an F1 visa under the aegis of "CPT" -- curricular...

Re: Do we need a visa?

OK, Sarcastic, you're probably right the chances are slim (although not knowing anything about the OP it's hard to say for sure) but that visa is the only appropriate one, there is no other.

Re: Do we need a visa?

Hello,

The visa you would need is an O1 visa...this is the visa used by people who freelance, and work internationally. I'm not sure, based on what you've said, if you would qualify, but it would...

Re: J1 Career Training Visa in USA - Summer 2008

Re: J1 Career Training Visa in USA - Summer 2008

Just to emphasise: they cannot "cancel" your visa. All they can do is inform the USCIS that you're no longer participating in their intern program, at which point you would be considered out of...
