Help: F11 Visa (US) wants to study in CAN but lives in US?

Post Tue May 29, 2007 10:19 pm

Pls help!
I am currently holding a F11 Visa for USA but I havent entered (or become immigrant yet), but I would like to keep studying in Canada until my studying is done. I wonder that if I could live in USA somewhere near the boarder and drive to School in CAN everyday and if that would affect my USA immigration status?
pls advise. Thank you!
I have to enter USA before August, but the US tuition is sky high so that I want to finish my degree in CAN before I go, but there isnt enough time
any suggestion is appreciated.

what exactly is an F11 visa?

And what is your status in Canada? Are you a citizen, or ?

F11 visa, as far as I know, it's an immigration visa for unmarried children of US citizens, so to put it simple.
Freakgamer, my advice to you would be to make sure you do enter US b4 ur F11 visa expires (u have the deadline on ur passport)or else they'll take it back from you. I am not sure if you can get it back just by paying the fee again or you have to start the whole process all over again, but it is wiser to just stick with what u have. An F11 visa gives you the opportunity to travel back and forth even if u didn't actually receive the Green Card. When you enter US they will put a stamp on ur passport and with that one you can travel free until it expires. However, they do say that you'll get ur GC b4 the stamp expires, so it shouldn't be a prob. As a F11 visa holder you are allowed to be outside US for a period of time up to 1 year. The maximum period of time can go up to 2 years but for that, once u're in US, you have to contact BCIS (Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services)in ur area. Since you have a very good reason to be outside States, don't think you'll have a prob whatsoever. But you have to contact them. I suppose you can also try and give 'em a call b4 u actually arrive in US. You might find some nice guy who to give you all the info you need, therefore you'll know what to do in advance. The very best of luck!
