How long is the validity of American student visa?

The validity of student visas will be extended to a maximum of five years.

After APEC, China and the United States announced a new visa policy to the United States. The new visa policy in the United States is: the period of student visa is extended from one year to five years, and the business/tourist visa is extended from one year to ten years.

Since 2009, the longest time for China students to apply for a student visa in the United States is only 1 year. It is very inconvenient for international students in the United States to prepare all kinds of renewal materials and prepare the visa return process as soon as possible after returning home during the holiday.

After the implementation of the "New Deal", students who go to the United States for undergraduate or master's courses within five years do not need to apply for a study visa every year after returning home, which greatly saves time and expenses, and also eliminates the expenses required for each renewal.

At the same time, parents do not need to apply for a new visa to visit relatives in the United States within 10 years. It is also more convenient for business people who often need to go abroad to go abroad for negotiations, exhibitions and business activities.
