Upon the departure from the United States, please do not surrender your current I-94 card. You will need to show I-94, I-20/DS-2019 form, and a valid passport in order to re-enter the U.S. Students and scholars going to Canada or Mexico for pleasure visits of less than 30 days will still be allowed to re-enter the U.S. on expired visas (automated visa revalidation).
As of April 1, 2002, all non-immigrant visa holders, including students and scholars, who travel to Canada or Mexico to renew their visas at a U.S. Consulate in those countries will not be allowed to re-enter the U.S., if their renewal applications are denied. In such a case, any individual with a non-immigrant visa will have to return to his/her home country to renew the visa.

U.S. State Department Bars Foreign Students From Renewing
Their Visas in Canada or Mexico
By SARA HEBEL
Foreign students studying in the United States are being
temporarily prohibited from renewing their visas in Canada and
Mexico if they are not citizens of those countries. The
practice of doing so has been popular with some foreigners who
want to change their visa status quickly or who need to renew
their visas, which can be done only outside the United States.
Some campus officials who work with international students say
the policy change -- which the U.S. State Department announced
on November 19 -- has led them to advise some students whose
visas have expired to cancel holiday trips home this year or
to forgo other travels, such as those to academic conferences
overseas.
These students, who otherwise might have filed new visa
applications in Canada or Mexico, may not be able to renew
their visas in their home countries quickly enough to allow
them to re-enter the United States in time for their classes,
the campus officials say. Foreign students had been allowed to
set an appointment time with officials in Canada and Mexico to
renew their visas, making the process more efficient in those
countries. Students from some countries -- such as China,
South Korea, and India, where there is a perception that U.S.
visas are growing harder to get -- are worried that they would
be denied a new visa if they have to go home to reapply.
"Midyear travel, if you need a new visa, is very insecure,"
said Jerry D. Wilcox, director of the international office at
the University of Texas at Austin. "Everything is up in the
air as to how fast you can get processed."
Since September 11, State Department officials have announced
that some applicants for U.S. visas will face additional
processing requirements and security-clearance checks. Because
those procedures may delay the issuance of some nonimmigrant
visas for students and workers, State Department officials
were worried that applicants could become "marooned for a
lengthy period of time" in Canada or Mexico if they did not
issue the new policy preventing individuals from seeking new
visas there.
A State Department official emphasized on Thursday that the
new prohibition was "very temporary." The official said the
department expected to lift it once additional measures are in
place to prevent terrorists from entering the United States.
Campus officials who work with international students said
they felt that, even though the new rules are inconvenient for
students, the department was acting responsibly. Federal
officials were smart, they said, to prevent students from
being trapped in other countries and to temporarily plug a
potential hole in national security.
"The State Department is trying to walk a very fine line of
doing their part to address security measures while at the
same time wanting to keep open positive relations with other
countries, and to help the United States remain open as a
country," said Susan J. D'Amico, associate director of the
international-services office at George Washington University.
The campus officials, though, said some of the new immigration
guidelines are vague, causing broader concerns about obstacles
any foreign student traveling to Canada or Mexico for any
reason might face.
Under a process known as "automatic revalidation," foreign
students and other nonimmigrants who are living in the United
States with expired visas have been able to re-enter the
United States from Canada and Mexico -- and in some cases,
certain Caribbean countries -- without renewing their visas,
as long as they were in good standing with United States
officials when they left and had been gone for no more than 30
days.
But the officials said federal guidelines have not been clear
about whether the extra security clearances now required of
some individuals might prevent some students who travel to
Canada or Mexico from re-entering the United States without
reapplying for a visa. Those students, too, then could get
stuck in those countries, the campus officials worried.
Mr. Wilcox said he also has concerns about the general
direction of recent immigration rules for students. He fears
that they could end up providing a disincentive for foreigners
studying on American campuses to ever return home or take a
job there. "You are scaring people to say good-bye forever to
their families," he said.

OISS continues to advise international students and scholars to avoid unnecessary travel outside the United States, particularly if you need to renew your visa. In recent weeks OISS has received a number of messages from UCSB international students and scholars who have applied to renew their visas in their home countries. They have been told that they will have to wait anywhere from a month to three months before their applications will be returned to them. PLEASE NOTE, SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING TO WAIT ONE TO THREE MONTHS TO RENEW THEIR VISAS. The government has implemented additional security clearances in the visa granting process that account for the longer waiting periods. If you do need to travel and will also need to renew your visa, you should be prepared to be flexible in making travel and other arrangements for your return.
