can i go for stamping before my visa expires that is my visa expires on june 2009 so can i go now ie dec 2008

Answer 1

There is no extensions of a student visa nor are visas applied for from within the United States.

It is the date on your I-20 that determines your legality in the U.S. What is the end date on your I-20? If you wish to stay longer then you need to speak with your international student advisor and talk about further studies.

Answer 2

Oh, I've been wondering the exact same thing. I'm actually pending for a green card but I don't know if it's going to work out. My cousins who live in the US once told me the only way you can extend a student visa is by applying for a new program or getting yourself a permanent residency so you have the legal rights to work there.
