Hi There,
I was wondering if anyone can give me some information regarding the procedure one needs to follow to extend/renew one's visa.
I have been issued a F1 visa in Aug 2001 and it will expire in Aug 2006. This visa has been issued for the purpose of getting a Bachelors Degree. I have successfully completed my Bachelors in May 2005 and am currently working on my OPT. My OPT expires in May 2006 and I intend to gain work experience till then.
After that, I want to get into a Masters program in the US. Assuming that I receive an I-20 by May from one of the Masters programs I have applied to, what is the procedure to getting my F1 visa extended/renewed?? Like I said, my F-1 visa expires in Aug 2006 and the fall term will start in Aug 2006. I intend to visit my home country for the 3 mnth summer break between May and August.
I would really really appreciate it a lot if anyone can shed some light on this issue. Thanks A LOT.
