标题: 【急问各位phd同学】
我8月18号开学,在明尼苏达,phd program,I20上写的“the normal length of study is 84
months”,我暑假有事情,就前几天去签证了。今天拿到签证,上面写的:Issue date: 21APR2008, expire
date: 20APR2009

我这个5年的program,那岂不是每年都要这个时候回来签证????

谁能告诉我到底是怎么回事……是不是它弄错了??大家的签证都是只签了一年么??

谢谢谢谢!!!

I heard that you can extend the date in US maybe.

兔猫这么快就拿到签证了,不错。我都还预约不到时间呢。

签证管得是你进出美国,所以是一年进出

I20是你的学生身份,所以是84个月

Yes, everybody's vias is for one year. You don't renew your visa as long as you are in the U.S.

But once you go back to china, you have to renew it in Beijing

only in beijing?
can't renew it in guangzhou or hong kong?

广州肯定可以了,如果你这次是在香港签的香港也可以,如果不是你的情况香港也应该没问题,我认识一个同学因为暑假实习去了香港,回程签证给了5年

签证只是让你合法入境。

有I20说明身份的话,你在美国呆着就没有问题。

只是如果你想中途短期再去别的国家,如果签证过期的话,好像要回中国,先办美国签证,

为你能合法去别的国家,但再入境的时候你的美国签证已经无效了。

Student(F/M)

How long may I stay on my F1 or M1 visa?

The Department of State (DOS) (travel.state.gov) is responsible for visa adjudication at U.S. Embassies and Consulates outside of the United States. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (http://www.cbp.gov/) determines admission into and conditions of stay in the U.S. at the port of entry. Please check carefully with official sources of information before applying for a visa or seeking entry into the United States.

When you enter the U.S. on an F1 or M1 visa, you will usually be admitted for the duration of your student status. That means you may stay for as long a period of time as you are a full-time student, even if the F1 or M1 visa in your passport expires while you are in America.

For example, if you have a visa that is valid for five years that will expire on January 1, 2005, 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, 2005 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. An F1 or M1 visa cannot be renewed or re-issued in the United States; it must be done at an Embassy or Consulate abroad.

唉可怜的中国护照连煤球卡都不如,台湾香港的护照F1一签都是5年多次往返

恭喜小猫兔顺利拿到签证...
作者: lfdb    时间: 2008-4-25 13:25

嗬嗬,谢谢Drakedirect!! 祝你一切顺利!

To joysource: 哈哈,啥叫煤球卡呀?这么逗的名字。


作者: joysource    时间: 2008-4-25 13:35
煤球卡就是以前计划经济的时候,用来购买煤饼的票据。当时煤气还没有普及,很多人家家里用煤球炉烧水做饭

小兔猫什么时候来美国啊?

以下是引用joysource在2008-4-25 13:35:00的发言:

小兔猫什么时候来美国啊?

我大概8月初吧,I20上面写的是8月18号program开始,但我想肯定要提前过去安顿安顿。


作者: joysource    时间: 2008-4-25 13:46
嗯,早点去享受那里短暂的夏天。明尼苏达冬天又长又冷,小兔猫要找个暖和点的窝安顿。
作者: lfdb    时间: 2008-4-25 16:02
哈哈,对。弄个暖点的窝非常必要!我之前还在跟同学说明尼苏达那个地方肯定很少蛇,蛇都特别困,常年都困。
