This is good news, but there are new conditions that apply, mainly involving a review of social media activity as part of the visa process.</p> <p> Many of you are already in the U.S., so the announcement this week may not pertain to you directly, but it is important that you are aware of these developments.</p> <p> If you are in F-1 or J-1 status, remember that you can stay in the U.S. even if your visa expires as long as you keep your I-20 (F-1) and DS-2019 (J-1) records active.</p> <p> If you do leave the U.S. over the summer, you will need a valid passport, an unexpired F-1 or J-1 visa, and your I-20 or DS-2019 with current travel endorsements to reenter.</p> <p> If your F-1 or J-1 visa has expired, you will need to schedule a visa appointment at a U.S. embassy or consulate and obtain an updated visa in your passport before you can reenter the U.S. If you are in this situation, please fill out this <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/17GV8uXWHQ3Pm9UintMm1V-HhoY7vYV_I4siG69W6VPY/viewform?edit_requested=true">form</a> and let us know the date of your appointment.</p> <p> If you are in a visa status other than F-1 or J-1, please reach out to International Student Services (<a href="mailto:iss@andrews.edu">iss@andrews.edu</a>) if you have questions about international travel.</p> <p> As always, please do not hesitate to contact us at <a href="mailto:iss@andrews.edu">iss@andrews.edu</a> with any questions or concerns. Have a great summer!</p> <p> Prayers and best wishes,</p> <p> <strong>Christian Stuart</strong><br /> <em>Associate Dean, International Education</em></p> Fri, 20 Jun 2025 12:04:51 +0000 Intellectual Property in Academia http://www.andrews.edu/agenda/67378 Fri, 20 Jun 2025 10:32:50 +0000
