I got F1 visa ( Student Visa ) to USA and i want to know ... when can i able to travell to usa ?

Question

My education in USA will start in Mars ..

Answer 1

As a first time student in the US, you may get a visa no more than 120 days before the start date of your program, and you may enter the US not more than 30 days before the start of your program. If you are a returning student, with a current I-20 and valid status, you do not have the 30 day restriction.

Answer 2

If you have been issued a visa to enter the United States, you will not be allowed to enter the country more than 30 days before the start of your program, if you are an initial entry student. Returning students do not have this requirement.

Answer 3

You must enter the US before the start date of your program on your I-20. If you can not be able to enter the US before that date, then you must contact your school. Your school can either issue you a new I-20 with a defer start date for the middle of March, or the school can send a enrollment letter and stating that even though you have been enrolled, you found it difficult to travel on your assigned date.

This will not only calm you down, but also immigration when you enter the US.

Answer 4

Look at dates and information on card [visa] and look at your passport
[dates etc] from China. Chat or telephone talk with others (perhaps someone you know) who has recently left China and entered the US for
exactly the same reason with exactly the same credentials. My Chinese
stepdaughter is a University senior now, but she came on a Visa with her mother and then applied for residency and soon citizenship. Last night a young student asked about getting a work permit who has been here on F1
Visa for 6 Years! He apparently has never applied for residency and is
married!!! DON'T wait and make that mistake. Work hard and be a Good Person and Honorable young man -- good Luck [61 yr old Grand Father].
I hope you will be GOOD to other people and GOOD to Life -- then, perhaps,
life will be GOOD to you! God Bless.

Answer 5

In most countries, first time student visa applicants are required to appear for an in-person interview. However, each embassy and consulate sets its own interview policies and procedures regarding student visas. Students should consult Embassy web sites or call for specific application instructions.

Keep in mind that June, July, and August are the busiest months in most consular sections, and interview appointments are the most difficult to get during that period. Students need to plan ahead to avoid having to make repeat visits to the Embassy. To the extent possible, students should bring the documents suggested below, as well as any other documents that might help establish their ties to the local community.

Changes introduced shortly after September 11, 2001 involve extensive and ongoing review of visa issuing practices as they relate to our national security. It is important to apply for your visa well in advance of your travel departure date.

When Do I Need to Apply for My Student Visa?

Students are encouraged to apply for their visa early to provide ample time for visa processing. Students may apply for their visa as soon as they are prepared to do so.
The consular officer may need to get special clearances depending on the course of study and nationality of the student. This can take some additional time. For more information on applicants who may have additional processing requirements see Special Processing Requirements.
Students should note that Embassies and Consulates are able to issue your student visa 120 days or less, in advance of the course of study registration date. If you apply for your visa more than 120 days prior to your start date or registration date as provided on the Form I-20, the Embassy or Consulate will hold your application until it is able to issue the visa. Consular officials will use that extra time to accomplish any of the necessary special clearances or other processes that may be required.
Students are advised of the Department of Homeland Security regulation which requires that all initial or beginning students enter the U.S. 30 days or less in advance of the course of study start/report date as shown on the Form I-20. Please consider this date carefully when making travel plans to the U.S.
A student who wants an earlier entry into the U.S. (more than 30 days prior to the course start date), must qualify for, and obtain a visitor visa. A prospective student notation will be shown on his/her visitor visa and the traveler will need to make the intent to study clear to the U.S. immigration inspector at port of entry. Before beginning any studies, he or she must obtain a change of classification, filing # Form I-539, # Application for Change of Nonimmigrant Status, and also submit the required Form I-20 to the Department of Homeland Security office where the application is made. Please be aware that there is an additional fee of $140 for this process, and that one may not begin studies until the change of classification is approved.
