How long can an alien student study in the U.S. under F-1 status?
In contrast to most other non-immigrants who receive a specific period of time to remain in the U.S., an alien student who obtains an F-1 status is allowed to remain in the U.S. for the duration of status. Duration of status signifies that he is considered to be in valid status during enrollment in his academic program, plus any periods of authorized practical training and the 60 days grace period, which is afforded to an F-1 holder to provide an opportunity to depart from the U.S.
