謝謝回覆,這方面我跟學校確認過,今年我在美國境內COS轉成H1B那刻起,我的F1簽證就失效了。(學校表示我的SEVIS auto complete due to change of status)如果需要再重新念書,需要一組新的SEVIS number來重新申請F1簽證。
SEVIS auto complete不代表簽證失效
你依然可以用舊簽證搭配新生的SEVIS入境,有數不清的成功案例
麻省理工學院的國際學生中心引用國土安全部的規定: https://iso.mit.edu/knowledge-base/i-have-a-val...efore-starting-at-mit/ I have a valid F-1 visa (issued by the US Consulate) from attending my previous school, do I need to apply for a new visa at the US Consulate before starting at MIT?
The U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Homeland Security have indicated that a student who has a valid F-1 visa in their passport from pursuit of a previous degree in the U.S. can use that visa to enter the U.S. in F-1 status to begin their program of study at MIT.
