美國轉學問題

Question

情況有點小複雜唷
我當初拿a校的i-20來美國唸書
唸了以後發現和自己領域相差太多, 也沒什麼興趣
總之就是不想再繼續唸了
問了許多人之後的決定是轉到b校(當初也有給我 i-20)去唸 (科系不同)
現在的問題就是, 我a校才唸一個多月
但我真的覺得唸完這學期我都覺得很痛苦
因此想請問一下該怎麼做?
1. 直接withdraw休學? 但之前看有人發問過, 萬一舊學校因為我沒唸滿一學期不給我1-20的release呢? 我本來就有打算寒假要回台灣一趟啦, 機票都買好了, 所以如果這種情況的話, 是不是只要我先回國, 再拿新學校的i20回來就好了?
2. 不休學, 但成績到最後可能會很難看. 這樣對我會有任何影響嗎?(兩間學校的科系不同, 所以完全沒有學分waive的考量)

我是想說休學的話 可能就比較不會留下record...如以後找工作或再申請博班什麼的, 就不需要看那個只唸一學期的成績....這樣的想法對嗎?

好苦惱阿~~~~ 請幫幫我吧 謝謝

補充一下: 我要去新學校的話~並不是拿新學校原本給我的I-20, 新學校如果答應讓我延後入學應該會再發給我新的I-20

您的問題蠻單純的, 樓上的"oh my god"的說明也只有答對一半而已.關於您的簽證與學籍以及未來的紀錄, 讓我說明清楚.您在A校希望轉到B校, 首先在未取得B校之學籍前, 不可放棄A校之學籍.一旦您在A校Withdraw, A校的ISO(International Student Office)即會向美國移民局報備, 一個月之內您必須要離境以避免有跳機紀錄影響將來申請美國任何簽證. 如果在這一個月當中, 您取得B校的I-20並向B校ISO報到(B校ISO也會向美國移民局報備), 您的合法F-1身份即可繼續, 無須再重新申請美簽. 如果您打算返台一趟, 最好是在取得B校的I-20並向B校ISO報到後, B校學期開學前返台. 當您再次入境美國時, 持B校的I-20入境.當然, 在離開美國前一定要請B校的 Student Advisor在新的I-20背後背書簽字(Endose), 這是給再次入境時的移民局海關審核用的.至於A校部份, 您一定要忍耐. 算好取得B校的Admission Letter後再Withdraw, 時間上要斟酌, A,B校之學籍身份在一個月之間過渡完成, 移民局就不會找麻煩. 當您取得B校的入學許可後, 立即向A校申請Incomplete以避免過低的GPA影響未來就學. 最壞的情況就是B校無法立即核發入學許可及I-20, 影響您在A校離開的時晨進度. 這時後其實也有 2種方法可以解決.(1)直接向A校Withdraw後回台, 等取得B校的入學許可及I-20後以新生名義入境美國就學, 等於重新來過一次.(2)先申請當地的語言學校, 語言學校的I-20幾乎是付錢就有了(找最便宜的), 學籍暫存在語言學校1~3個月, 此時即可馬上離開A校並合法的滯留美國, 並等候B校的入學通知. 無論如何, 您一定要取得他校的I-20並完成報到, 才可以Withdraw A校以維持合法身份, A校沒有權利決定您可否申請其它學校.

我是master...所以"oh my god"你的意見是"退學然後回台灣再重申請一次visa"???

1)首先重點是你的美國簽證.你的美國簽證是跟你的I-20連一起的. 假如你選擇退學(A校), 你就不能再用同一個美國簽證回美國了. 在你向A校申請退學後, A校會向美國國務院(or the Department of Homeland Security)通報, 你的美國簽證會被撤銷. 你不能用B校的I-20進入美國. Also, 你更不能A校不退學(保留你的美國簽證, 寒假後台灣回美國用), 而下學期直接的進入B校的. 你會被通緝的!!!要轉校的話, 你需要改你的美國簽證或重新申請一趟美國學生簽證(B校).B校的I-20也要改. (入學學期不對, 舊的B校I-20不能用)2)有影響. 因為要重新申請一趟B校.(入學學期不對, 舊的B校I-20不能用)P/S : 學校不能阻止你退學的.============================More info :How Do I Apply for Permission to Transfer Schools? You must be a full time student in good academic standing. You must notify your current school of your intent to transfer. You must ask the school that you plan on attending to give you a new USCIS Form I-20 A-B/ID (Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant (F-1) Student Status - for Academic and Language Students). You must complete your portion of the USCIS Form I-20 and give it to your new designated school official (DSO) within 15 days of transferring. The designated school official (DSO) should give you the last two pages, known as Form I-20 ID, and forward a copy of the first two pages, known as Form I-20 A-B, to the USCIS and your prior school.
