看你的情况,你回国机票已定,之前这几个月不超过5个月的限制。但是由于你12月就毕业了,所以你无法在美国衔接上秋季入学这个gap,所以就按照原计划回国,然后秋天再回来就好。这中间你的4个月停留期,就我的经验来看,是符合规定的。 -- by 会员 USLin (2012/3/24 21:29:39)
5个月的限制适用于在transfer SEVIS的情况下,楼主当时12月毕业,应该还没有拿到那2个学校的录取,这种情况下学校没有办法transfer你的I20,那5个月是不是就不成立了? 2.5. A student with an Active SEVIS record asks, “How long can I wait between ending classes at my transfer-out school and starting classes at my transfer-in school?”This depends on the student’s circumstances. The transfer-out school controls the student’s SEVIS record until the transfer release date.[8 CFR 214.2(f)(8)(ii)(C)] If classes are in session, he or she must attend classes and otherwise maintain status until the transfer release date. On the transfer release date, the transfer-in school controls the student’s SEVIS record. He or she must begin classes at the transfer-in school at the next available term, unless taking an authorized break or vacation during that term. If the next available term does not start within five months of the last date of school attendance or program completion date at the transfer-out school (whichever is earlier), the student must depart the United States until he or she can begin the new program. This will not be handled as a transfer. The student will get a new SEVIS record and the school will send the student an Initial attendance Form I-20. The student must then pay the SEVIS I-901 fee and apply for a new F-1 visa. http://www.ice.gov/sevis/f_1_transfers.htm#_Toc174419535 根据上面的描述,这种情况不构成transfer,那是不是5个月就不成立呢?
