  • Renewing F1 visa right before graduation

    I currently have an F1 visa that is valid until August 2015. My graduation date is in June 2015, I will be graduating with a masters degree. I am also about to receive my OPT card (already got the notice in the mail). I have been working for some time now (both with my Bachelor's OPT and masters with CPT) and have proof of current employment. I have had F1 visas from 2009 until today, in 2 year increments (so I am currently on my 3rd F1 visa, will be applying for fourth).

    Now, I know I can legally stay in the country as long as my OPT is valid, but I would like to travel outside the US and have the ability to come back. I am originally from Serbia, so I'd like to go back home too, sometimes.

    Question: can I go back home in e.g. May this year and renew my F1 for another two years?

    I have been in your situation. if you could apply for dvance Parole which give you a right to re entry to the united state that will be great. Also if you have your employer letter of employment I think you are fine. Another think is that I register for one class then went home and come finish it.
