- Visa expired?
If your visa (the stamp in your passport given to you by the U.S. embassy abroad) has expired, it is important to remember that you are still able to maintain valid F-1 or J-1 status in the United States with an expired visa.
Your status is based upon the I-20/DS-2019 and your I-94, which you can access online at i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home. If your I-20/DS-2019 and the accompanying SEVIS record is still valid and your I-94 is accurate, you are in status, even with an expired visa.
You WILL need a valid visa if you plan to exit and reenter the United States. If you do plan to travel internationally, please note that you will need to apply for a visa renewal at a U.S. consulate abroad if your current visa has expired.
ISSS recommends that if you are in this situation (holding an expired visa, but planning to travel internationally), speak with an international student advisor or your local DSO before traveling internationally.
There are increased delays and restrictions on visa issuance, even for visa renewals, and International Student and Scholar Services can help you prepare for these.
- Last semester summer enrollment reminder
If summer will be your last term in your program, then please note there are some additional requirements on enrollment (listed below).
As you will not be a continuing student for fall, summer is not considered a vacation term so you will need to be enrolled full time for the summer or apply for the reduced course load for last term.
- Graduate full-time summer enrollment: 3 credits
- Undergraduate full-time summer enrollment: 6 credits
If you need to apply for a reduced course load for the last semester for summer, you can find this request on mypassport.wsu.edu, under Enrollment Forms.
Help us celebrate our graduating students at the Graduation Gala! Food, drinks, photography, and fun provided.
Friday, May 6 | 3:30-5 p.m. | Elson S. Floyd Cultural Center
