Hello,
I am sure a lot of people have been in this position. My sister is about to complete her bachelor's degree this semester. She has already got the acceptance from the grad school and will be waiting for the new I-20.
Just last week, she was informed that she got an offer to do research work at the new university during the summer. I think she would get her new I-20 sooner so that she can a new F-1 Visa. Now for the Questions:
1. I can understand that for the regular semesters, she would need the F-1, but would she need one for the Summer Session.
2. If she decides that she wants to visit abroad some time next year, does she still need F-1 Visa to legally be a student at the university.
3. If she does need the F-1 Visa to do research during the summer, what is the current policy of getting the F-1 stamp at the US Embassy in Mexico, even though she is an Indian Citizen.
Thank you for any input.
