Hi everyone,
I came to the US as an F-1 student for undergraduate studies in 2012. I finished undergrad in spring 2016 and immediately enrolled in grad school in fall 2016 so I got a new F-1 visa as a graduate student. I am wondering if the 5-year exemption for F-1 students in the substantial presence test would start counting from my first F-1 visa (2012) or my second F-1 visa (2016).
Thanks!
