  • Imp: Query regarding F1 Visa and passport

    Hello Senior Members,

    I got my student vis about 20 days ago. I got visa for 5 years.
    I'll be attending US Univ this fall for 2-year full-time program.

    My passport will expire on 7 Oct 2011. All my queries are regarding this.

    I have the following questions:

    1) At the PoE, can someone tell me what will the date that will be printed on my I-94 ? Will it be full 5 years or just 6 Oct 2011 ?

    2) I'm planning to renew my passport from the Indian embassy in Washington DC by Nov / Dec 2010. Will my old passport by taken back my the embassy ? If so what about the visa ?

    3) In case at the PoE, the officer prints my I-94 till 6 Oct 2011 (since my passport expires by then), what should I do to get the entire 5 years ?

    4) What are the other concerns that you see in my case.

    Thank you.

    1) I-94 will show D/S = Duration of Status. It means as long as you maintain student status by enrolling in a full time program with the intent of pursuing a degree. The I-94 does not show any date on a F1 visa.

    2) You old passport stilll remains with you. The visa on the old passport is still valid and you should carry old and new passports when you travel.

    3) see above.
