You can travel to Canada, Mexico and certain Caribbean Islands on an expired visa as long as you still have a valid SEVIS generated I-20 form. BUT YOU CAN NOT BE OUT OF THE US FORM MORE THEN 30 DAYS! \n\nTo come back in the US you will need a valid passport, your expired visa, your I-94 form and the valid I-20 (make sure the school updates the form in SEVIS). Normally, when  you depart the US you surrender the I-94 form ,however, in the case of short term travel to Canada & Mexico DO NOT surrender it. If you surrender the I-94 at the Canadian border you will not be allowed back in.\n\nWhile you could apply for a new F-1 visa while in Canada, if you get denied (which is very likely) you will not be allowed back in the US. As long as you don't stay more then 30 days and don't apply for a new visa you'll have no problem.\n\nAlso beware that as a Russian you'll need a visa to get into Canada. If you are very confident that you have a perfect American accent, look american and have an american name they might let you slide by with your driver license but it's highly unlikely (maybe possible if you drive to Canada but there is no way you can get by if you fly in). \nAlso, only a driver license accompanied by a US birth certificate is an acceptable substitute for a US passport. A driver license alone is not acceptable proof to enter Canada.

Well, the American person can re-enter whenever since that one is an American citizen. As for the Canadian, that one can come in on a travel vise, but can't work unless that person has a sponsor or is married to an American.\n\nAs for phone numbers, this is a good place to start:\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/NCSC.htm

If you are an American citizen travelling to America from a country in the western hemishpere (that's North, South, and Central America as well as the Carribbean) all you need to enter the United States is proof of American citizenship.  \n\nIf you are a Canadian travelling to the United States from a country in the western hemisphere for pleasure or business (where the company that is paying you is located outside the United States) all you need is proof of your Canadian citizenship.\n\nGenerally, a birth certificate with a government issued photo ID is sufficient proof.

I think you need to go to the Canadian Embassy and get legal to go there. Then just pack up and move.

It really depends on what country you are going to, sad but true, say if it is Canada you can go to canada.gc.ca  and find all the info that you need. Honesty is the best policy. I came to Canada from the USA, and I had no troubles, I'm still here and happily married and have filed for papers for landed immig status , You want to make sure that when you do proceed with anything that you answer all info properly and correct, if not that can cause you many problems, and just for your info it can be time consuming and you just need to remain positive. Just get all the information you can, off the net, public library can be helpful, your own offices for passports and visa's and such, You need to find out if there are any stipulations for the country you are going to, such as how much money you need to have per day and so on. I hope this makes since, Good luck to you ...

A citizen of a foreign country, wishing to enter the U.S., generally must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stay, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. The type of visa you must have is defined by immigration law, and relates to the purpose of your travel. See detail on Visa section of travel.state.gov

Your entrance requirements depend on your citizenship, not where you come from.\n\nIf you are Mexican, you need to apply for a Visa. If it's a short-term stay a travel visa can be issued at an American embassy or consulate (relatively easy). If you want to stay for a longer period of time, study or work, the requirements are tougher. Check out the link or ask the embassy.

Nothing. \n\nThe US appears to be afraid there is no reason for you to return to Canada, and that you will become an  illegal immigrant.

She will have to have a visa, possibly a tourist visa, but the stipulations are having 10k dollars in the bank in Mexico and land (as proof of her ties to Mexico, to assure that she will return there.) if she is a student, I hear, that it is easier. If she already has a date with the consulate, I dont think there is anything that you can do to speed the process.

A passport!  My husband (American) and I (legal resident in the U.S.) drove to Canada.  I had to show my Green Card and my husband showed his driver's licence and the officer said "no, I need to see your passport".  Luckily, he had brought it.

Here are some helpful links:\n\nTravel info:\nhttp://www.traveldocs.com/mx/index.htm\n\nYellow pages (choose a state in Mexico & search for heavy equipment:\nhttp://seccionamarilla.com.mx/default.asp\n\nAs for the towing & transporting of vehicles, you would have to conttact the Mexican Embassy (in the USA) near you and request that info.  They will give you the forms and what you need to be able to transport what you want.  Easier than you think!!  Good luck.  ;o)\nhttp://www.vec.ca/english/10/consulates-usa.cfm

If you would need a visa to travel to the US, you will need a visa to travel to any US Territory.  Visit the US Embassy or Consulate in the country of which you are a national or to which you maintain strong ties.  Apply for a B1/B2 non-immigrant visa and provide full documentation of your professional status and affiliations; include your NCLEX exam registration printout.  The visa, if issued, may be restricted to a single entry and specifically for the location of the exam.

Once an alien is admitted to the United States in F-1 status, he or she must meet certain obligations in order to maintain status. The student must: \n\n• Have a passport that is kept valid at all times, unless exempt from the passport requirement. \n\n• Attend the school the student was authorized to attend. Continue to carry a full course of study. \n\n• Follow certain procedures if the student must remain in the United States longer than the length of time estimated for his/her educational program, as stated on the initial I-20 A/B issued to begin the program of study. \n\n• Follow certain procedures to transfer to a school other than the one originally authorized. \n\n• Limit employment, both on and off campus, to a total of 20 hours per week while school is in session. \n\n• Refrain from off-campus employment without authorization. \n\n• Report a change of residence to INS within 10 days of the change.

Canadians do have it different - they do not need a piece of paper in their passport that we commonly refer to as a visa.  You still need to apply for the status and pay the associated fees and so forth.\n\nWhat you need to do is talk to the advisor for international students and ask them what steps you need to take to get your Employment Authorization Card.  Without it, if you work, you will be considered the same as every other illegal immigrant, and you will be a part of that very exclusive group of Canadians that require a visa to enter the US for any reason.
