Hi All,
I am on F1 visa and my visa expires in the first week of June 2005.
Now, i can easily stay on by getting an extension on I-20 and maintain my F1 status. however, since i am planning to go to India in March end i thought i get my visa renewed.
My question:::: Will the counsulate in India issue me a new visa 2 months before my exisiting F1 expires? or it is the case that they will say "well, u have 2 months so why renew it, u can enter and stay on F1 status"?
I will be really grateful if anybody can shed light on this or has had similar experience. I need to decide fast as i have to get all the documents and most importantly an appointment.
cheers!
