Several of the measures included in the new law will affect foreign students and scholars in the U.S. Although there is still a great deal of uncertainty about the interpretation of certain aspects of the bill, we want to alert our students and scholars about the changes that go into effect right now and will have immediate impact. Under the new law, travel outside of the U.S. to a country other than your own has become problematic, particularly if you need to apply for a new consular visa in that country for re-entry to the U.S. This law makes it more likely that your application will be refused. The new law states that if an individual has allowed his or her status in the U.S. to lapse even for one day, that person's consular visa is null and void and can be reissued in the home country only. Also, as of April 1, 1997, an individual who has allowed his or her status in the U.S. to lapse for six to twelve months will be barred from admission to the U.S. for three years. Individuals who have allowed their legal status in the U.S. to lapse for more than one year will be barred from admission for ten years. Therefore, we cannot emphasize strongly enough how essential it is for anyone holding nonimmigrant status in the U.S. to maintain legal status at all times. Please consult the Website (WWW.OIE.OHIO-STATE.EDU) for a more complete explanation of these changes. Some Immigration Reminders * Do not throw away old I-20 or IAP-66 forms - keep them in a safe place in case you ever have to prove that you have maintained legal status in the U.S. * You only get one vacation quarter per academic year. If you will be registered for fewer than full-time hours during a quarter other than your vacation quarter, have your academic advisor fill out a "Reduced Credit Hour Request Form" available at OIE. * Check your I-20 and IAP-66 date to make sure that it has not expired. * Make sure your passport is still valid for at least 6 months. If not, stop by OIE to get the address of your consulate. * Before you travel, stop by OIE to get a signature on the back of your I-20 or IAP-66. * If you are a transfer student, OIE must approve the transfer and notify the INS. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 참조하시길.. |
