I came to U.S. on an F-1 visa three years ago, I want to go back to China during this summer. I have my new I-20 for next year issued by my University, if I let my advisor sign on the back on my I-20, when I'm in China, do I have to go to the embassy and get another visa? When I'm trying to come back to U.S., what kind of things do I need?
Thanks |

Check the expiration date of the visa in your passport. If it will not expire before you plan to return, then you can use that visa with your new I-20.
Otherwise (if your visa is expired) talk with your int'l. student advisor about what you would need in applying for a new visa. If the person is qualified to sign your I-20, than they should be qualified to tell you what you'll need at the embassy or consulate. |

Hi, Bob, thanks for your reply. The visa in my passport has been expired for a long time. What I've heard is that as long as you have a valid I-20, you're still in statue, and your visa is still valid. Is that right? And in that case, if my visa is expired, but I have a I-20, do I still need to get a new visa to return to U.S? |

You do need a new visa. When you enter the US, the visa must be valid. Once you're here, it can expire. As long as your I-20 is valid you're fine. But if you leave the US and go anywhere other than Canada or Mexico, you need to have a valid visa. |
