Maintaining Your F-1 (Student Visa) Status

It is your responsibility as an F-1 student to maintain your status. You can find more information about how to maintain your status on the second page (instructions) of your I-20, and at USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services): www.uscis.gov

Please follow the guidelines listed here to help you maintain your status:
  • Attend 18 hours of class per week 
  • Attend at least 80% of classes
  • Report a change of address to the Director within 10 days of your move
  • Attend 2 COMPLETE (15 week) consecutive semesters of class before taking a vacation
  • Make sure your immigration documents are safe and secure - leave your passport at home and make a copy for your wallet
  • Keep your passport valid
  • Know your I-20 expiration date
  • You may remain in the country up to 60 days after you complete your studies (the last day you attend class)
  • If you need a program extension, speak to the Director one month BEFORE the program end date on your I-20

If you would like to extend your status, please follow these steps:
  • Notify the Director one month before the program end date
  • Provide a current financial document that shows a balance of $2400 for each additional month you plan to study
    • $1200 for tuition, $1200 for living expenses
    • Dependents are $400 per month per dependent
AIA will try to notify you in advance of your I-20 expiration, date but it is your responsibility to request an extension.
