How many credits must I register for and maintain to remain in legal F-1 or J-1 status?
Graduate students must maintain nine credits both fall and spring semesters. Undergraduate students must maintain twelve credits both fall and spring semesters. Students are not required to register for summer classes, unless your program requires summer enrollment. In this case, you must be registered full time. Q: How do I apply for a new visa stamp? To apply for a new visa stamp, you will need to visit a U.S. embassy or consulate abroad. Bring transcripts from GW as well as from your previous school(s) as proof of your prior student status in the U.S. The State Department website list of U.S. embassies and consulates can be found at http://usembassy.state.
