required documents for F-1 students who seek to reenter the U.S.

2020学生重新入境所需文件!

随着秋季学期的临近,越来越多的学生正计划飞往美国。在此文章中,我们将列出学生重新入境所需的文件。

内容摘要


基于移民法规和原始ICE指南的文件

移民法规8 CFR 214.2(F)(4)指除学生需携带拥有正确签名的I-20表格(可在下面找到8 CFR 214.2(F)(4)的整个段落)。拥有正确的签名意味着:

  1. 您的DSO应该在第一页上签名
  2. (仅适用于返校学生)您的I-20表格应在您进入美国之日起一年内得到DSO的旅行批准-Travel endorsement,
    • 如果旅行签名是一年多以前完成的,则应联系DSO,并获得带有新旅行认可的I-20表格电子副本

I-20表格的旅行批准部分

有签名的I-20也是原始ICE指南中学生重新入境所需的文件之一。以下是ICE原始旅行指南对 F-1学生重返美国的基本要求:

  • I-20表格,经旅行认可并由您的DSO签名
  • 您离开美国不到五个月
    • 有关5个月的规定,请参阅下面的“ 基于最新ICE指南的文档 ”
  • 护照的在您入境当天有效期至少还有六个月  
  • 有效的当前签证  或您到邻近国家或邻近岛屿旅行少于三十天
  • 财务信息显示必要的资金证明,以支付学费和生活费
    • 由于可以在I-20表格中找到财务信息,因此一些学生在没有任何财务文件的情况下进入美国也没有任何问题。但是,有备无患永远是一个好习惯。

此外,一些CBP(海关和边境保护局)官员可能会要求您提供学生身份证明或学校指定学校官员(DSO)的姓名和联系信息。为了证明您的入学情况,您可以随身携带最近的学费收据,成绩单或/和入学确认信。通常,可以从学生账户中获得最新的学费收据,而成绩单和入学证明信也可以通过与Registrar office联系来获取。DSO的信息可在学校国际学生和学者服务办公室(ISSS)网页上找到。

(4) Temporary absence. An F-1 student returning to the United States from a temporary absence of five months or less may be readmitted for attendance at a Service-approved educational institution, if the student presents:

(i) A current SEVIS Form I-20, properly endorsed by the DSO for reentry if there has been no substantive change to the most recent Form I-20 information; or

(ii) A new SEVIS Form I-20 , if there has been a substantive change in the information on the student’s most recent Form I-20 information, such as in the case of a student who has changed the major area of study, who intends to transfer to another Service approved institution or who has advanced to a higher level of study.

8 CFR 214.2(F)(4)

基于最新ICE指南的文件

5个月规则

根据7月24日发布的ICE更新信息,由于COVID-19离开美国但在线完成学习课程的学生可以继续进入美国,因为他们的SEVIS记录仍然有效 (SEVIS record is remain Active)。

If a nonimmigrant student was enrolled in a course of study in the United States on March 9, 2020, but subsequently left the country, that student likely remains eligible for a visa since the March 2020 guidance permitted a full online course of study from inside the United States or from abroad.

I-20中的备注

在7月6日发布的ICE指南禁止了在线课程,该指南要求工作人员更新学生的I-20,例如“学校将不会完全在线运营”,“此学生未100%在线注册”等。但是,由于该指南已被废除,学生不再需要获取新的I-20。最新的ICE指南明确指出,带有备注的I-20和没有备注的I-20都可以正常使用。已经按照7月6日ICE指南(于7月14日废除)为F或M学生签发了I-20表格的学校,  无需重新发行I-20表格,除非还有其他实质性更改需要更新I-20(例如,如果学生改变了主要学习领域,转学或学习更高学位)。同样,没有按照7月6日指南签发I-20表格的学校也  无需重新发行I-20表格,除非有实质性更改。

Schools who have already issued Forms I-20 for F or M students in accordance with the July 6 guidance or July 7 FAQs (rescinded on July 14) do not need to reissue those Forms I-20, unless there are other substantive changes that would trigger a Form I-20 update. Similarly, schools that did not issue Forms I-20 in accordance with the July 6 guidance or July 7 FAQs (rescinded on July 14) do not need to reissue Forms I-20, unless there are substantive changes that would trigger a Form I-20 update.

电子版I-20

如果您一直在关注我们的文章,那么到现在为止,您一定已经看到过多次我们提过在大流行期间发布和使用I-20的电子副本。因此,如果您的旅行认可已过期或您的专业已更改,则可以索取新I-20的电子副本。当您打印出来时,建议使用彩色打印,因为I-20表格上的签名应该为蓝色。如果您无法用彩色打印,则可以用黑色打印,并带上带有蓝色签名的旧I-20。

Yes, DSOs may electronically send Forms I-20 to student email addresses listed in SEVIS.

F-1学生签证再入境所需文件为I-20表格,有效护照和签证。携带财务文件,注册证明以及DSO的姓名和地址也是一个明智的选择。
