Can I transfer my student visa to another school?
Yes, you can transfer your student visa to another school in North Dakota. Whether or not you can transfer depends on the authorization of both the school you are currently attending and the school you would like to transfer to. Generally, when transferring from one school to another, you must file a request to transfer your visa to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Whether you are currently on a student visa or are transferring to another school on the same visa, you must first receive permission from both the original school and the new school. As part of this process, the new school must fill out Form I-20 which is a document issued by the school that verifies a student’s eligibility to apply for an F-1 student visa. It is also important to ensure that the new school is authorized to enroll foreign students, as some universities may have restrictions on who they accept. Once the new school has signed Form I-20, you must then submit it to the USCIS along with the required documents as well as any applicable fees. After the USCIS has accepted the request, they will update your student visa with the new school information. It is important to note that you must begin studying at your new school within five months of the requested transfer date and must notify the USCIS of any changes or interruptions in your studies.
