国际学生基本知识
签证类型
bet8九州登录入口 has permission from the US government to sponsor two types of student visas. F-1签证是最常见的学生签证类型. The J-1 visa is often used by students who are financially sponsored by their government, 或者是参加交换项目的学生. 俄亥俄州向新入学的学生发送签证文件, and the student uses that paperwork to request a visa stamp in their passport.
程序是否合适
Federal regulations place many limitations on both visa categories, 结果就是, not every program at 俄亥俄州 will be able to bring students on an F-1 or J-1 visa. 学生 are expected to study full-time, and to have a physical presence on campus. Online programs and Part-time programs are not appropriate for these students. In general, Hybrid programs are not compatible with either status. 然而, if a hybrid program has a very strong in-person component, ISSS and the Graduate College can review for suitability.
旅行的担忧
For some students, traveling outside of the US can be a stressful, and even risky experience. 美国.S. State Department issues visas of different lengths to different students. Sometimes the visa does not last as long as the academic program. In that scenario, if a student travels abroad they must apply for a new visa at a U.S. 大使馆. While it is not common for a continuing student to be denied a visa, 否认的风险总是存在的. Without that visa, the student may not return to the country to resume their degree.
If you find that a student has concerns about traveling overseas, 请鼓励他们来与国际科学院的指导老师交谈.
