有關美國學生簽證!急!!
我男友申請到研究所
他的研究所9月13開學
照理來說他可以在90天內拿到FI student visa
但是他這次想跟我ㄧ起回美國先讀語文學校
我以為他可以在6月13就可入境
就可以跟我ㄧ起回美
但是我查到說他必須要30天內拿學生簽證入境
要早來美國要用觀光簽證再轉學生簽證
可是到時候會有140塊的手續費
還是說他先申請ESL的I20
用ESL I20 來申請學生簽證
到九月再把ESL I20 轉研究所I20
唉呦!好複雜喔!有沒有人有經驗阿?
謝謝
A student who wants to an earlier entry in the U.S. (more than 30 days prior to the course start date), must qualify for, and obtain a visitor visa. A prospective student notation will be shown on his/her visitor visa and the traveler will need to make the intent to study clear to the U.S. immigration inspector at port of entry. Before beginning any studies, he or she must obtain a change of classification, filing Form I-506, Application for Change of Nonimmigrant Status, and also submit the required Form I-20 to the Department of Homeland Security office where the application is made. Please be aware that there is an additional fee of $140 for this process, and that one may not begin studies until the change of classification is approved.
