I want to return home immediately after completing my studies. If I don’t intend to apply for post-graduation training or another academic program, how long can I stay in the United States?
F-1 students are allowed to stay for a 60 day grace period after the completion of their studies. During the grace period, they can travel within the U.S. but can not leave and reenter the U. S. as an F-1 student. Q8. I heard that the U.S. is giving away green cards. A: The U. S. Congress has enacted an annual Diversity Immigrant Visa Program also known as the Visa Lottery. It is conducted once a year to make a certain numbers of green cards available to people from countries which are “under-represented” in recent immigration to the U.S. For more information on Green Card Lottery or Diversity Visa, visit the USCIS website at www.uscis.
