Hi Friends,

My F1 expires in Jun 2002 and I want a visa extension on my new I20. Can i go the Mexico / Canada before the visa expiry date? Or I can only go for visa extension once my visa has expired?

Visa and D/S are different.

You will not be out-of-status because your visa expires. Your status is determined by Duration of Stay (D/S) specified on I-94. Check that.

But you need to get a visa if you leave the US. Therefore if you do not need to a visa, then do not worry. get it when you have to reenter US.
 
Renew student visa stamp while in US.

Hi,

I have completed my Master\'s degree and am currently on my optional practical training which expires in July 2002. I plan join school again for graduate studies in August 2002. The visa stamp on my passport has expired (May 2001). My I-94 states that I am legal here for duration of stay(D/S). Is there any way I can get my visa stamp renewed/restamped while in US. I know H1-B\'s can get their stamps renewed this way but an not sure if F-1\'s can, and how?

Regards,

Ajay.
