FOR STUDENTS

Main >> Immigration Information

YOU are responsible for maintaining your legal standing in the U.S. It is important that you are well informed on how to do this.

International student advisors at International Advising are trained to help you understand the regulations that apply to the F and J student visas. We urge you to get to know us and to consult us when you have any questions or concerns about your visa matters. We can update and issue new documents and advise you on your rights and responsibilities as an international student, in accordance with U.S. government guidelines and university policies.

• Documents

• F-1 Students

• F-2 Dependents

• J-1 Students

• J-2 Dependents

• B-1/B-2 Visitors

• Visa Waiver Visitors

• Undocumented

Documents:

Your passport
This gives you permission to travel abroad and is issued by your home government. It must be valid as long as you are in the U.S.. We recommend you renew it at least six months before it expires. Keep it in a safe place, and keep copies of the identification page, visa stamp. Doing so will save time should you lose the passport.

When entering the U.S., your passport must be valid 6 months in the future.

Do not let your passport expire while in the U.S.. Apply to your home country embassy to renew your passport several months before it expires.

Citizens of Canada do not need to present a passport unless they are arriving from outside the Western Hemisphere.

Your I-94 card
This is issued to you by the CBP (Customs and Border Patrol) as you arrive in the U.S., and will be taken from you as you leave. It states the date on which you entered the U.S., and states your visa status. The number on the card is your immigration admission number, and will be used in any correspondence with the immigration. It should also be entered on your I-20.
F and J visas:
The letters D/S (duration of status) on the I-94 mean that you are permitted to remain in the U.S. for as long as you remain in good standing as an international student. Your I-94 card will be taken from you when you leave the U.S. You will receive another if you reenter the U.S. Keep it safely with your passport at all times.
B-1 and B-2 Visitors
The I-94 will have a date on it showing how long you can remain in the U.S. You must either leave the U.S. by this date, or have a non-frivolous application for extension or change at USCIS before this date.
Visa Waivers
The I-94 will have a date, 90 days from entry on it. You must leave the U.S. by this date. You can not extend or change your status inside the U.S.

Visa, visa-stamp, entry visa
These terms refer to the stamp in your passport, which allowed you to enter the U.S.. The stamp indicates the number of entries you may make into the U.S. before it expires.

Your visa stamp does not determine how long you may remain in the U.S..

You are required to renew your visa stamp only if you are planning to travel outside the U.S. and re-enter after it has expired, or if you have used all the authorized number of entries and are reentering. It is not possible to apply for - and you do not need - a new visa while in the U.S.. If you are planning to leave and re-enter the U.S. and your visa stamp is no longer valid, consult International Advising for advice. As long as you are remaining in the U.S. it does not matter if your visa stamp expires, as long as your I-20 or DS-2019 is still valid and you are maintaining valid status.

You will need a new visa to re-enter the USA when you have used all the entries or after the expiry date.

Citizens of Canada do not need to have a U.S. visa stamp to enter in F or J visa status.

I-20 for F-1 Students, and their F-2 dependents
This document is issued by UNT and SEVIS. It is used to apply for your F-1 or F-2 visa at the U.S. Embassy or consulate in your home country.

You must attend the school whose I-20 you used to enter the U.S.

On your initial entry to the U.S. the school listed on your visa stamp, and the school on the I-20, must match.

The I-20 permits you to remain in the U.S., as long as you are carrying out the program described, and are maintaining your status. Your I-20 must always be an accurate statement of your program. If any of the facts recorded on it change, you should request an updated document from International Advising.

The date at which you are expected to complete your academic program, is printed in Box 5 on your I-20. This date is only an estimate. Permission to remain actually ends on the date your academic program ends, or the expiration date of the I-20, whichever comes first.

After completing your program, you have 60 days to leave the U.S..

If you end your studies before completion of the program, and have permission from International Advising, you have 15 days to leave the U.S.

If you do not consult International Advising to get permission, immigration determines that you are out of status, and have no grace period to stay in the U.S.

If you do not complete your academic program before the end date on the I-20, you must ask International Advising to prepare a new I-20 for an extension of your program. This must be done before your I-20 expires.

DS-2019 for J-1 Students and their J-2 dependents
The DS-2019 certificate of eligibility allowed you to apply for a J-1 or J-2 visa stamp. You can think of it as a contract between you, the University of North Texas, and the U.S. government. Once you are inside the U.S., it will show the length of time you may remain in J status in the U.S.. It will also show your program of study, and your funding. You may participate at the institution listed on the DS-2019.

Your status will end when you complete your program, or at the end date of the DS-2019, whichever comes first.

If you complete your program, or the DS-2019 expires, you have 30 days grace period before you must leave the U.S.

If you have not completed your program, and you need to extend the DS-2019, you must do this before the end date on the DS-2019.

Please consult the J sponsor with questions about any changes needed on the DS-2019.

F-1 Students:

• Change of Degree Level

• Change of Major Field of Study

• Change of Status

• Concurrent enrollment

• Employment

• Extension

• Financial documentation

• Health Insurance

• Less than Full-time Enrollment

• Maintaining F-1 Status

• On-line Studies

• Reinstatement

• SEVIS Fee

• Special Registration

• Transfer

• Travel

Change of Degree Level

Plan Ahead!

Immigration regulations allow 60 days after completion of your degree to complete admission to the new degree level and have the I-20 issued. Since admissions can take a long time, you must plan ahead. You must also have all documents necessary for the issuance of an I-20 submitted in time for the I-20 to be issued.

For most changes in degree level, UNT students must apply to International Admissions.
If you go through International Admissions, your I-20 will be issued by International Admissions. You must bring it in to International Advising after it has been issued.

Some changes in degree level only go through the Graduate School. An example would be the change from Second Bachelor’s to Master’s.
Once the change in degree level has been completed, you must apply to International Advising for a new I-20.
International Advising must have the I-20 issued by the program begin date, and SEVIS activated by 30 days after the begin date of the program. 

Change of Major Field of Study

If you are an F-1 student and have a change in your major field of study, please apply to International Advising for a new I-20 using the New I-20 Application Form . Your financial documents must be less than one year old.

If you are a J-1 student, please discuss this change with your J sponsor before making a change.

Change of Status (within the U.S.)

In many cases it is possible to apply to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a change of status. Please consider the following before application:

USCIS will consider your entry visa type, and whether you actually intended to be in the U.S. for the purpose you stated at the port of entry. For example, if you entered on a B-1/B-2 visitor’s visa, then they must be convinced that you actually came to be a visitor, and that is what you have been until you decided to change.

Entry on a Visitor’s visa when intending to study may be considered fraudulent entry.

Visitors who entered on a “visa waiver” (It will say WT or WB on your I-94 card), are not eligible to study, extend their status, or to change status in the U.S.

When the application to UNT, the issuance of the I-20, and the application to BCIS is prior to 60 days of B status in the U.S., the request will quite likely be denied.
In this case it is best to travel outside the U.S., obtain an F-1 visa, and reenter as an F-1.

The application may take anywhere from 2 to 9 months to be approved or denied. You are able to stay in the U.S. while USCIS is considering your application.

Students changing to F-1 from B-1, B-2, or F-2, must obtain the approval before beginning classes.

“A” visa status applicants to change status must first have an I-566 form completed and endorsed by the foreign mission to the U.S. and the Department of State. Forms can be downloaded from www.uscis.gov .

I-539 forms can be obtained from International Advising, or from the www.uscis.gov website.

The Department of Homeland Security SEVIS fee must be paid before applying to change to F-1 or J-1. Change to dependent status does not need to pay the fee. Include a copy of the payment receipt. This can be paid by credit card over the internet, or by mail-in. The form and instructions are on www.fmjfee.com . On the form in # 14:
For change to F-1, the school code is DAL214F00610000
For change to J-1, the program number is P103874

Concurrent Enrollment for F-1 Students
 

Concurrent enrollment means Enrollment at UNT plus another school at the same time.

Procedure:

Check with your department to insure that your credits will transfer to UNT.

Complete Concurrent Enrollment Letter Request Form at International Advising. International Advising will write a concurrent enrollment letter for you to take to the other school. It will be ready after 2 pm on the 3rd business day.

As soon as you have registered at the other school, bring proof of registration, showing the number of credits, to International Advising. You must complete this by the 12th day of class at UNT.

If you fail to do this, your record on SEVIS, with immigration, will show you as less than full-time, and therefore, out of status.

When you have completed the classes at the other school, you must bring a copy of your grade report that shows you have completed the credits to International Advising.

Since immigration requires you to complete a full-time credit course load, You must show us this completion, so that we can verify to SEVIS (immigration) that you were a full-time student, and were in status.

And don’t forget to send a transcript to the UNT Registrar to get your credits officially transferred!

Information:

It is very important that you maintain your F-1 status. Procedures have changed since immigration began their electronic reporting, called SEVIS. We must verify your status at the beginning of each semester. We must also notify SEVIS of any changes during the semester.

Immigration is clear that it is your responsibility to maintain your F-1 status. Therefore, it is your responsibility to give us the information to help you maintain that status.

If you have any questions, please contact one of the advisors in International Advising!

Extension of I-20

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
Maintaining valid F-1 status
Apply in time to have procedure completed before I-20 expires. (At least 2 weeks ahead of I-20 expiration.)
Delay due to academic reasons – documentation attached. Poor performance is not acceptable.
Delay due to medical reasons – documentation attached.

INELIGIBLE SITUATIONS
I-20 has expired, or will expire before procedure can be completed.
Otherwise out of status
Delays due to poor academic progress
Delay due to suspension
Delay due to academic probation

REINSTATEMENT SITUATIONS
Any student who does not meet the eligibility requirements must either file for reinstatement, or travel outside the U.S., and reenter with a new I-20 marked initial attendance to begin a new F-1 status. Please consult an international advisor.

PROCEDURE FOR EXTENSION OF I-20
Submit the following to International Advising
International Advising I-20 Application form (link to Forms/F-1 extension of I-20) completed by student
Academic Advisor Certification form, (link to Forms/F-1extension of I-20) signed by academic advisor/department chair
Documentation of funding
SEVIS will allow a maximum one year extension.
After completion of the procedure, International Advising will email the student to request the student to come to 171 Kendall to sign the I-20. The extension will then be complete.

Financial Documents

Immigration regulation states: “(B) The student has documentary evidence of financial support in the amount indicated on the SEVIS Form I-20 (or the Form I-20A-B/I-20ID); (8 CFR 214.2(f)(1)(i)(B)
http://uscis.gov/graphics/lawsregs/8cfr.htm

If you are applying for admission, please check the requirements for International Admissions.

Continuing students who apply for an I-20 in International Advising, must have documentation that is less than one year old.

Naturally, these documents must be valid documents and a real source of support for your studies at UNT.

Unfortunately, some students feel that the documentation does not have to guarantee support. They feel it is used “only to get an I-20”. It is very sad to have a student arrive at UNT, and not have a source of income. UNT does not have funding to support you. A part time job on campus will not pay all your bills, unless you have a graduate assistantship. Of campus work permission is not authorized for students until at least one academic year in the US. Even then, it is very limited. Do not let yourself be put in a bad position! Make sure your funding is secure.

Exemption from Full Time Enrollment Requirement

You must obtain approval before you drop your course.

To maintain F-1 and J-1 student status, international students must be enrolled in a full course of study each fall and spring semester (summer enrollment is optional).
For undergraduates full-time enrollment is considered to be 12 credits.
Graduate students are required to be enrolled for 9 credits. Dissertators are considered full-time if enrolled for 3 credits.

There are only certain reasons which U.S. Immigration will accept for enrolling less than full-time. The acceptable reasons are listed below. For any semester in which you are enrolled less than full-time, please complete the Exemption from Full Time Enrollment form (on forms/student/less than fulltime) and have your faculty academic advisor, or for medical circumstances your physician or counselor, sign the bottom section, if the advisor feels that you have a valid Immigration reason.

Bring the completed form to the International Advising Center for approval. This will clarify any question regarding your enrollment status for immigration purposes. All withdrawals must be processed by the student according to university procedures through the Registrar’s office. Do not drop your class until you have picked up a copy of the approval in 171 Kendall the following work day at 2 pm.

There are only certain reasons stated in the code of Federal Regulations that are allowable for approval to maintain status. They are in several categories. One category does not affect another.

Type 1: Academic. Only one semester per degree allowed in this category. Minimum 6 credits allowed.
Initial difficulties with the English language, or initial difficulties with reading requirements.
Unfamiliarity with American teaching methods. (when first studying in the US)
Improper course level placement
Type 2: Final semester. (You are only allowed one final semester per degree)
Completing all degree requirements this semester.
Type 3: Medical. Maximum one year aggregate allowed.
Medical condition. Medical documentation signed by your licensed medical doctor, licensed doctor of osteopathy, or licensed clinical psychologist, containing recommendations concerning your course-load must be attached.
Please note: the Immigration and Naturalization Service does not consider financial difficulties a valid reason for enrolling less than full time
 

Maintaining F-1 Status

What does it mean to be "in status"?
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) considers you to be in valid F-1 status if you fulfill all of the conditions of your F-1 visa. The conditions are:
Attend the school whose I-20 you used to enter the U.S.
Maintain good academic standing
Maintain sufficient financial resources to avoid becoming a "public charge"
Enroll each semester as a full-time student
Work no more than 20 hours per week on-campus while classes are in session
Work off-campus only with specific written authorization from International Advising or USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services)
Complete the F-1 transfer procedure to change schools within the U.S.
Extend your stay in your degree program before the completion date on your I-20
Complete the change of level procedure when changing from one educational degree
level to another (within 15 days of changing educational degree level)

When does DHS consider me to be "out of status"?
DHS considers you to be "out of status" if you do not fulfill the conditions of your F-1 visa.

What are the consequences of being "out of status"?
If you are out of status, you lose the following privileges and benefits:

Eligibility for employment, on- and off-campus work
Automatic visa revalidation for trips to Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean islands except Cuba (not available to citizens of some countries)
Extension of program through the notification procedure
Transfer to or from another university in the U.S. through the SEVIS procedure
Change from one educational level to another through the SEVIS procedure
Practical training
Visa stamp may be considered cancelled

How do I get back in status?
To get back in status you must do one of two things: apply to USCIS for reinstatement within the U.S. ($200 fee), or leave the U.S. and be readmitted with a new I-20. Students who have worked since becoming out of status in the U.S. are not eligible for re-instatement in the United States. For more details, please consult the handout on reinstatement or see an International Advising advisor.

When does my F-1 status end?
Your F-1 status ends either on the date listed in #5 on your I-20, or when you complete the last requirement for your program of study, which ever comes first.

How long can I stay in the U.S.?
You may stay in the U.S. for 60 days after completion of your program. You may not work during those 60 days. If you do not complete your program, you may only stay for 15 days, if approved by an international advisor before dropping school.

See Change of Level and Transfers for deadlines in these situations.

On Line Course Requirement

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services regulations state that a student can only apply a maximum of one 3 credit course taken totally on line toward the 12 credit undergraduate minimum course load requirement and the 9 credit graduate minimum course load requirement each semester.

They state that if a course has any on campus requirement, it is not considered to be an on line course for this purpose.

The actual wording of the regulation is:
“For F-1 students enrolled in classes for credit or classroom hours, no more than the equivalent of one class or three credits per session, term, semester, trimester, or quarter may be counted toward the full course of study requirement if the class is taken on-line or through distance education and does not require the student’s physical attendance for classes, examinations or other purposes integral to completion of the class. An on-line or distance education class is a course that is offered principally through the use of television, audio, or computer transmission including open broadcast, closed circuit, cable, microwave, or satellite, audio conferencing, or computer conferencing. If the F-1 student’s course of study is in a language study program, no on-line or distance education classes may be considered to count toward a student’s full course of study requirement.” 8 CFR 214.2(f)(6)(i)(G) (bold type by International Advising)
To see more information on the process for UNT students taking on line courses that may qualify for this exemption, please access the website
http://www.unt.edu/cdl/approval_procedures/BCIS_regulations.htm for more information. There is a form available at the website. One copy must be submitted at International Advising before the 12th class day of the semester.

Reinstatement

How might I lose my F-1 status?
You might lose your F-1 status in several ways. For example:
By failing to extend your F-1 student program before your I-20 expires.
By failing to notify immigration of your change of degree level before the deadline. If your admission to the new degree level goes through Admissions, you must have your new I-20 within 60 days of completion of the previous degree. You must be in school within 5 months of the completion of degree. If your level was changed by the Graduate School, for example from Second Bachelor’s to Master’s, or Master’s to PhD., you must request this change of level at International Advising inside of 15 days after it occurs.
By failing to maintain full-time academic registration without a documented reason acceptable to immigration.
By working in violation of F-1 status, e.g. more than 20 hours per week while registered for study, by working off-campus without authorization, or working while registered for less than a full-time load without authorization. Employment violations can only be corrected by travel. See an advisor.
If you are a transfer student from another US school, by failing to apply to International Advising to complete the transfer notification within 15 days of classes beginning.

What are the consequences of being out of status?
Students who are out of status are not eligible for any of the benefits of F-1 status, including permission to work or eligibility for practical training.

How can I get back into valid F-1 status?
If you have lost status as a result of any of the reasons listed above EXCEPT by working in violation of F-1 status, you may apply for reinstatement within the US. If you lost status as a result of working in violation of F-1 status, please consult an advisor.

How do I apply for reinstatement within the US if I have not worked in violation of my F-1 status?
Meet with an advisor to discuss your case, to see if it is a good candidate for reinstatement.
Submit application form and all required documents to International Advising.
Sign I-20 after International Advising notification.
International Advising will notify you when USCIS has responded.

How long does immigration take to adjudicate a reinstatement application?
There is no set time. We estimate 2-3 months.

Am I allowed to register at UNT while immigration considers my application?
Yes.

Am I allowed to work while immigration considers my application?
No.

Am I allowed to work again after immigration approves my reinstatement?
You will be eligible to work on campus immediately after INS approves your reinstatement. If you were a full-time student for 9 consecutive months before you fell out of status, you will also be eligible to apply for practical training immediately after INS approves your reinstatement.

What if USCIS denies my application?
It is important to discuss your case with an International Advisor before applying for reinstatement to make sure you have a good case for reinstatement. If it is denied, you will need to travel outside the U.S. Most probably your visa stamp will be cancelled, and you will have to apply for your visa stamp from now on only in your home country. If you are denied, meet with an International Advisor immediately to make plans for an I-20 to use with travel and reentry.

Procedure for Reinstatement application:
Submit the following to International Advising:

SEVIS Fee

F-2 Dependents:

Children in the K-12 system may attend school.
Other F-2 dependents may not attend school, except for an avocational or recreational class. UNT and IELI courses are not considered avocational or recreational.
F-2 dependents may not work. They may not apply for work permission.
When traveling outside the U.S., F-2’s need to have a travel endorsement from International Advising.

J-1 Students:

J-1 students may have a sponsor different than UNT. If so, you will find this sponsor listed in #2 on your DS-2019. If your sponsor is different than UNT, you will want to contact your sponsor with your questions, and for travel signatures, work permission, and extensions.

If your sponsor is UNT, you will come to International Advising with your questions, requests for travel, work permission, and extensions.

You must be a full-time student:
12 credits for undergraduates
9 credits for graduates
3 credits for graduate student dissertators

Please consult an International Advisor about work permission if you plan to work.

Following completion of your degree, you may qualify for Academic Training, which is specific to a particular job in your field of study.


More information can be found on the Department of State website http://exchanges.state.gov/education/jexchanges/  and

in the Code of Federal Regulations 22 CFR 62 at http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_02/22cfrv1_02.html

J-2 Dependents:

May attend school full-time or part-time.
Do not need to attend school.
May apply to USCIS for employment authorization. See J-2 Employment.
The employment can not be for the basic support of the J-2 or J-1.
J-2 dependent children must change to their own visa status when reaching age 21.
Must obtain a travel endorsement on their DS-2019’s to reenter the U.S. after traveling.
If the DS-2019 was issued by UNT, please consult International Advising.
If the DS-2019 was issued by another agency, please consult your sponsor.
Are subject to 212(e), the 2 year home residency requirement if the J-1 is subject. If the J-1 obtains a waiver, it also applies to the dependents.
If the J-1 leaves the U.S. for a short period, for example 2-3 weeks, the J-2 can remain in the U.S.
If the J-1 ends his or her program, he/she is allowed to remain in the U.S. for 30 days, and then must leave. The J-2 must also leave.
If the J-1, and thus the J-2, is not subject to 212(e), the 2 year home residency requirement, it may be possible to change to a different visa status and remain in the U.S. for another purpose.
 

B-1/B-2 Visitors:

Department of Homeland Security requires that you state the intent of your visit to the U.S. If you state that you intend to be a visitor, that is what they expect that you will do.
You can not attend school as a B-1 or B-2 visitor. You must change status to an F-1 or other suitable status before beginning school.
One option is to take your I-20 which you obtained from International Admissions, apply at a U.S. consulate outside the U.S., and return to the U.S. as an F-1 student.
Another option is to apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for a change of status to F-1.
Please consult an advisor in International Advising about your immigration issues, and the processes involved.

Visa Waiver Visitors:

Immigration regulation states that visitors who entered the U.S. on a visa waiver may not attend school. They also must leave the U.S. inside of 90 days, and can not change visa status inside the U.S.

Please contact International Admissions to request an I-20 after admission to use to apply for an F-1 visa outside the U.S.

Undocumented Students:

Proof of immigration status is not a qualification for admission or enrollment.

We recommend that undocumented students consult with a qualified immigration attorney about their case.

If you are undocumented, attended a Texas high school for at least 3 years, and graduated from a Texas high school, you may want to consult with International Admissions or the Registrar to see if you qualify for in state tuition under bill HR1403. There are additional qualifications.
