8老師, 我外甥今年6月份在美國高中畢業, 國際學生身份, I 20 到6月30日到期。他現在被當地一家大學錄取, 按國際學生申請, 學校答應給新的I20, 但是學校要在今年9月底才開學。我外甥現在等移民簽證, 遞交了D260, 你的建議是移民簽證麵試前不要離開美國, 要不就回不來。我的問題是, 如果他不回中國, 他現在的學生簽證隻能讓他合法留在美國到6月30號, 新的I20要到9月底才拿到。在美國的3個月暑假算不算黑在美國?
-He has the F-1 grace period of 60 days after he completes his high school study. The new school (the college) can issue him the I-20 in June or July, but he cannot attend the college until the fall semester starts. After he gets the I-20, he can legally stay in US even if he will report to the college in Sept. So, just talk to the International Student Office at the college, and they know this rule well and know how to deal with it.
