VISA有效期内，转学不换sevis不用重新签证

张糊糊同学

VISA有效期内，换学校了，出境后再回美国不用去签新的签证（VISA有效期内入境）
我和中国大使馆也确认过这个问题
电话咨询的北京非移民签证
VISA有效期内，更换VISA上学校，拿着新&旧I-20，即可入境
但前提是一定要VISA有效

如果VISA过期了，一旦出境，必须面签，不能递签

已有多名学生成功入境，F-1 VISA有效是入境门票，又有合法I-20证明入境后的学生身份，如果海关需要理由，解释转学就行

If I transfer to another school or from ESL to my university, how do I change the visa?

You usually do not need to change the visa.  Make sure you have an updated and correct I-20 and that your designated school officials in both schools keep the SEVIS system updated. You will need a new visa if your new school has a different SEVIS number, or if you have been out of class for more than 4 months.
