I plan to travel home and need a new F-1 visa stamp to re-enter the United States. What should I do?
• You will need to present an active Form I-20 to the visa officer at a U.S. embassy or consulate. • In addition, you will be asked to document your financial resources, your intent to return to your home country, and you may be asked for a transcript from each school that you have attended in the United States. Additional information can be found under “Travel Guidelines” in the Students section of the ISC website. • If your visa application is subject to a Security Check, it could take a few months before you receive a decision. Determine if you need to prearrange an appointment at the embassy or consulate. To check on the requirements of a particular embassy or consulate, please visit: http://www.usembassy.gov.
