Question of the Month

How long can an alien student study in the U.S. under F-1 status?

In contrast to most other non-immigrants who receive a specific period of time to remain in the U.S., an alien student who obtains F-1 status is allowed to remain in the U.S. for the duration of status. Duration of status signifies that the alien is considered to be in valid status while enrolled in his/her academic program, plus any periods of authorized practical training and the 60 days grace period, which is afforded to an F-1 holder to provide an opportunity to depart from the U.S. However, for high school studies at a public school, an alien student may only study for one year as an F-1 student.
