SEVIS's undergraduate transfer visa has not been activated?

Many international students studying in the United States must make the following preparations if they want to apply for undergraduate transfer in the United States.

First, find out whether transfer schools accept transfer students between American universities.

Second, distinguish between majors. Different majors and departments have different requirements for American undergraduate transfer students.

Third, the transfer materials are fully prepared. Applicants can only apply if they meet the required GPA.

Fourth, transfer students in the United States are admitted together with freshmen, and there is no separate audit mechanism.

Some schools also have special requirements for international students to transfer between American universities, such as English skills, TOEFL or IELTS scores, entrance English tests, or completion of English courses with certain credits.

Immigration has strict requirements for international students with F/KLOC-0 visa to apply for undergraduate transfer in the United States. If your F 1 visa has expired or is "unqualified" during transfer, you must leave the United States and re-enter the country with an F 1 visa before transfer, or re-apply for a valid F 1 visa in the United States, otherwise you cannot apply.

Secondly, to enter the country as a student of F 1, you must register in a licensed new school. If you want to transfer between American universities, you must first obtain the approval of the Immigration Bureau. Your current school must hand over SEVIS records, and the new school can issue you a new I-20.

Once you have an application plan for undergraduate transfer in the United States, you must first apply to the Immigration Bureau for transfer approval. Because it takes time for immigration authorities to approve transfer, it is recommended that students obtain transfer approval before transferring. Generally speaking, the Immigration Bureau stipulates that you can't leave your old school for a new school for more than five months.
