F1 Student Query
Dear Forum Users,
I came across your wonderful website which is so informative. I would like to really congratulate the users for having done a comprehensive job of answering queries. I have a question? I just graduated with a master's degree from Univ. of Massachusetts and am presently on my OPT card. I have gained admission in their PhD program. I have also received my I-20 for the PhD program. My F1 visa is expiring in Dec 02. I plan to go to the Montreal US consulate office to get my F1 extended before my current F1 expires. I wanted to know if there would be any problem in returning/re-entry to USA in case my Visa is not approved? I would be very grateful if anyone could spare some time to answer this query. Sincerely, Prabhu Ganesan |
Re: F1 Student Query
An expired F-1 visa with a current I-20 shouldn't cause any problem for extension. Likewise at port of entry, but there's never a 100% guarantee.

It is not particularly risky if you have a valid F-1 visa, a properl endorsed I-20, and a letter from your employer saying that you are expected to return to your job, and that your job is a practical training position which is temporary in nature. If you are not working, the risk is quite a bit higher. |
