You can go anywhere in US, but you have to "maintain status" in the university that issued I-20 by taking at least 3 classes (it might 4 for undergrads)

Actually it depends on the time they gave you on your visa I am from Spain and they gave it to me for 10 years, but it does not mean I can go to the US for 10 years. since a type b1/b2 is considered a tourist visa when you arrive in the airport you have to go trough immigration and they ask you a bunch of questions on the reason for your visit. then if they let you in they give you an I-94 card to fill out and they stamp the time they will allow you to stay in the US with your visa type the max time is 6 months which you have, if you go back to Italy before or on the day the 6 months expire you can come back the next day. if you go over the 6 months but stay less that 2 years the you have to stay out of the US for 3 years. If you go over 2 years after that I-94 card expires then you have to be out of the US for 10 years as penalty.

If you exit the country you will have to apply for a new visa to enter back in the US. The moment that you exit the country and surrender the I-94 you loose your F-1 status.\n\nTo gain it back you will need a valid visa, hence, you will need to apply for a new F-1 visa in your country.\n\nThere is only exception ,however.You can travel to Canada, Mexico and Caribbean islands for up to 30 days without getting a new visa (as long as your F-1 status is valid). When you travel to one of these countries you do not surrender your I-94 (you use the same one to gain entry back in the US)

Talk to the advisors in the center for international students at the two schools you are talking about.  They will explain how to do this.

If you are just passing through(connecting flight), you can! If you intend to stay in the US , you need a visa!

Not anymore. Most states check the national directory.  It will show up in minnesota. you will have to get it cleared in michigan in order to drive in any of the states anymore.  Get it done while your in michagan cuz it is a pain to get all the records and papers you need, and then set the court date, and miss work, and have to travel back to mich from minnesota.  Its a bunch of running and can get costly.  You may get away with it now, but in the long run, it can come back to bite you in the but,  employers will frown on giving you the time off to resolve this issue.  Can take up to 6 weeks or more to get court date.

Go to or write to your local American embassy or consulate and ask how to get the forms for a tourist visa. It should cost you about 200 INS and give them at least 3 months to process the forms before your trip or it could cost more.\n\nI wish I could empathize for me it is no problem to travel to eretz Israel

yes...you can still go...but you will probably need a student visa (depending on the country) and you will pay out of state tuition.  \nI'm not from the U.S. and my tuition is about $12000 a yr for a CC...but that depends on where the school is located.\nI suggest you go to the website of the school you are looking at and look under either 'new students', prospective students, or admissions...it should have a link for international students that will give you all the information you need!

The actual time you are allowed to stay in the US will be decided upon entry and entered on your I-94 entry card. The maximum entry is 1 year and 6 months is the default, but they can make it any length shorter than that.\n\nFrom the State Dept. website:\n"Each time you arrive at the port-of-entry, a U.S immigration officer decides whether to allow you to enter and how long you can stay. Only the U.S. immigration officer has the authority to permit you to enter the United States."

Actually, no person in the U.S. can petition on your behalf if you wish to study in the United States (if you desire to immigrate, a family member or workplace can petition on your behalf).  \n\nTo come to the U.S. as a student, you would first have to demonstrate your eligibility for admission at a U.S. college or university.  The college or university would have to admit you and submit confirmation paperwork to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) within the Department of Homeland Security.  Once this is completed, you would have to apply for a U.S. visa at the U.S. Embassy in Manila.  To be eligible for a visa under U.S. law, you would be required to demonstrate that you have strong ties to your home country (the Philippines) that would compel your return after completion of your studies. This means that you would need to convince the consular officer adjuditicating your visa application that you do not intend to immigrate.  (See the U.S. Department of State's page on visa eligibility and denials: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/denials/denials_1361.html.)\n\nDespite what you may have heard, the majority of student visa applications received are approved and the visas are issued.  Over 572,000 students were enrolled in U.S. colleges and universities during the 2003-2004 academic year.  Other initiatives have also been undertaken to facilitate student visa processing and issuance (See U.S. Secretary of State Rice's recent remarks on student visas: http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2006/59239.htm).

I happen to meet a culinary student from the Philippines on my way back to Chicago, in 1999. She said that she was being sponsored by a hotel in FL. She first went to her mom in Chicago, then went to FL then after the time limitations, she stayed.\n    In short, write a letter to certain hotels here in the U.S. where you can have your externship. If you are lucky, of course, you'll shoulder the expenses, unless you are being sponsored or the hotel becomes interested in you. If you have a lot of money, try taking a culinary arts as a foreign student. If you're here, everything will be as 1-2-3.

If you never come to U.S before, probably, you can't.  However, for 100% accurate you should contact directly with place you would like to have fellowship, they may answer you.

I have come across this website:\nimmigration.com\nIt is a law firm's website, they are located in Virginia USA I guess but since they do a lot of business with Indian clients maybe they can help you. \nA lot of the information posted on their website is regarding Indian citizens. \nAn easier way to get answers about F1 visa:\nWhen you get accepted to a program in any university in the US, they send you an I-20 form. With this form you go to the US embassy and request a student visa. The best way to find out what you might need in addition to your I-20 to obtain a student visa is to go to any US college website and find the students that are from your country. you can e-mail them and ask them what they did to get their visa approved. Searching for graduate students is much better since the majority of them are international students.\nYou can also contact the center for international students of your university of choice and they will help you.\nI hope this was useful.

You can have loads of fun there!\n\nAs for the Visa - ask the Czech Embassy/Consulate, preferably before you leave, so you can be ready for it if you choose to do so down the road.\n\nWhere are you going, and who are you working for?\n\nHave fun!!

I don't think you can purchase a house on a student visa, but there wouldn't be any point in that anyways if you plan on returning to your country. Homes in California are VERY expensive.   \n\nDorms aren't all that bad. You can meet people and make friends that you will never forget, and that can be a good thing because if you plan on staying on the U.S. as a resident and getting a job,  knowing more people can open up more opportunities. But if you do want more privacy you could rent a small apartment for a good price. \n\nAs for a car, most universities have everything you need right on campus. Book stores, cafes, restaurants, shopping centers, and all that stuff. But if you want to travel outside of the university campus than a car may be a good thing, but most universities have access to public transpiration, especially in California. \n\n$1500 a month is a little tight. It really can add up very fast. Food, clothes, bills can be expensive. \n\nFor more information about your student visa check out the Student Visas site:\nhttp://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1268.html\nAbout studying in the U.S:\nhttp://www.unitedstatesvisas.gov/studying.html\n\n- Hope this helps :-)
