How long does it take to resume studying in the United States to F 1?

1. According to the US immigration law, foreign students with F- 1 status will lose their original legal status if they fail to continue studying in the originally approved American school for some reason. However, if the above time is less than 5 months, the US Immigration Bureau will usually approve their reinstatement.

2. However, if the period of losing the legal student status has expired for five months, according to the provisions of American law 8 CFR 214.2 (f) (16) (i) (a) and (f), the US Immigration Bureau will only approve the foreign student to legally restore his original student status unless he meets the following two conditions:

(1) Occurred due to special reasons (such as diseases, injuries and other force majeure natural disasters); Or the application for resumption of student status is delayed due to the fault of the foreign student consultant of the original school), and

(2) If students are not allowed to resume their original school status, it will cause great hardship to students.

3. According to the latest immigration regulations

It is decided that from August 6, 2003, international students must update and hold the computer-aided tracking system Sevis (student-exchange visitor)

Information system) I-20. According to this, the consultant of foreign students in his school can notify the US Immigration Service through SEVIS system when foreign students are not attending school. At this time, if students leave the United States and go back to Taiwan Province for vacation, they will be questioned by the airport immigration officer and refused entry.

Finally, according to the immigration law of the United States, foreigners who have been illegally staying in the United States for 180 days continuously since April 1997 are not allowed to re-enter the United States within three years after leaving the country. If they have been illegally staying in the United States for 1 year, they are not allowed to re-enter the United States within 10 years after leaving the country. Therefore, students from Taiwan Province Province studying in the United States must maintain their school status according to law, so as not to lose their right to enter and leave the United States legally and freely in the future.
