Travel if your visa has expired
- Your visa does not determine how long you may stay in the United States. However, to reenter the U.S. in valid F-1 or J-1 status you must have a valid F-1 or J-1 visa. You can obtain a visa only from a U.S. consulate outside the U.S.
- New visa processing procedures and requirements are now in place that have led to significant delays in processing times.
Meet with an OISS advisor prior to finalizing travel plans.
- Citizens of certain countries may find very significant delays due to new security measures, as well as students in certain "high technology" or "sensitive scientific" subject areas.
- If you need to travel but your entry visa has expired, you must apply for a new visa from a U.S. Consulate / Embassy. It is best to apply for a student/scholar visa in your home country. If you apply at a third country, expect processing delays. At the consulate / embassy, you should provide:
- An unexpired passport valid at least six months into the future
- A valid I-20 AB or DS-2019, which has been signed for travel
- Proof of financial support as reflected on the I-20 or DS-2019
- Students must show proof of enrollment at NYU in the form of a transcript or certificate of enrollment
- To better prepare, visit the website of the U.S. consulate you plan to apply at. You may also want to read the Department of State brochure on visa denials
