visaStudents in F or J visa status may remain legally in the U.S. on an expired visa provided they have a valid, unexpired Form I-20 or DS-2019. F and J visas cannot be renewed inside the United States. Students can apply for an F or J visa at a U.S. Embassy located outside the U.S. Before re-entering the U.S., all F and J students must provide a valid, unexpired visa at the port of entry. More information regarding visa renewal and Automatic Visa Revalidation are listed below.
