回复:请教8老师和pjiang老师, L2转签F1 (前帖误写成J2)

的L2两年有效期到今年4月份,没有回去续签,visa已过期。但是延期的I-94到明年4月份。

-You are fine to change your status to F1 within US.

老公上个月刚被lay off,他的L1到年底有效。我是从今年一月份开始读书的,为了维持身份,现在想转成F1. 我知道好像有三种办法可以转签

1.)回国转签;

-Fine.

2.)去墨西哥转签;

-No, but Canada is OK.

3.)或者file I-539;

-Fine.

像我这种,visa已过期,已经在读书,想转签的case,想请问一下,

1.)回国,或者去墨西哥转签是不是风险很大,如果拒签了,是不是就回不来美国了;

2.)如果我file I-539,是不是不需要那个 SEVIS I-901 fee;

-You need to pay the SEVIS I-901 fee. The school may pay the fee for you and then you pay back to the school. So, contact the Internationa Student Office at your school.

See:

3.)如果F1签下来了,我还能回国探亲吗?

-Yes. But you need to have a valid F1 visa to come back.
