To travel to the U.S, a person needs a valid visa and a valid passport. But what happens if your passport is sent for renewal and you get a new one? What if your old passport has a valid Visa stamp? The worrying thought is that the person has no visa stamp printed on the new passport. Now do you have to rush for a new visa or can you start your U.S travel carrying both the passports?
Let’s clear the air for you. U.S. travel demands a valid passport and a valid visa so make sure you carry your new passport along with the “valid visa-stamped” expired passport to show the authorities.
There are plenty of questions that plague the mind of the person who is heading off to the U.S. Let’s take the case of a student planning to pursue higher studies, who has an F1 visa and also gets I-20 from a University he had applied for, in the beginning. What happens if the same student also gets an I-20 sent by another University he has more preference for?
Is it possible to travel to the US on the basis of the F1 visa with the first University’s I-20 and then pursue studies in the University that handed over the second I-20 or does the student have to “reapply for the F1 visa?” According to the reports gathered by The Hindu, if the student has pre-decided that he doesn’t want to join the Univers
ity from where he has got the F-1 visa then he has to reapply for the student visa and get a new I-20 from the other University he has his eyes set on.
