Studying abroad for an extended period of time is exciting, but it can be stressful to try and stay compliant with your visa regulations. If you’re planning on staying in the U.S. on an F1 visa, make sure to avoid these common pitfalls so you can enjoy your stay in the U.S. for as long as possible. If you want to study abroad longer than the required one year abroad, there are several steps you should take to ensure that you obtain another student visa extension from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

When Can I Get a Student Visa Extension?

A student visa extension can be granted for up to a year and is dependent on the country. If you are in Albania, your visa can be extended for a maximum of one year. In Brazil, it’s possible for students with a student visa to extend their visas indefinitely. Vaseba Immigration helps students from all over the world successfully navigate this process by providing assistance with obtaining the visa extension documentation and submitting them correctly.

Where Do I Apply For a New Study Permit or Extension?

If you want to extend your stay in Canada, you must apply for a study permit extension before the expiration date of your current one. This is done by completing and submitting the Application for Extension of Stay as soon as possible before it expires.

How much does it Cost to Extend My Study Permit?

It costs $200 CAD for a student visa extension. This is one of the first things you need to know about extending your study permit.

It can take up to six months or more for your application to be processed and approved.

Do I Have to Leave the Country?

You are not required to leave the country when your visa expires. However, you may be required to get a new visa if you want to stay in the U.S. If you would like to remain in the U.S. after your current visa has expired, please contact immigration at least six months before your visa expires and they will be able to tell you if that is an option for you or not.

What Happens After I Submit My Application?

Once your application is submitted, it will be processed for up to 20 working days. If there are any mistakes in the application form, you will be notified and given the opportunity to correct them before a decision is made on your visa extension. In addition, if USCIS needs more time than that 20-working days, you will be granted an automatic extension for 30 additional days. The only information you’ll need from this point forward is your passport number and expiration date.

How long can I stay in Canada After my Work Permit Ends?
