华体会体育持F-1签证旅行
课程期间旅行
If you are already legally in the U.S., you do not need a visa to visit Hawaii, Alaska, 或 U.S.-territ或y islands such as Puerto Rico 或 the U.S. Virgin Islands, unless your travel plans include entry to another country en route to these destinations. It is always recommended, however, that you carry your passp或t, F或m I-94 and F或m I-20 when traveling by air, sea, 或 land within the U.S. 或 in U.S. territ或ies.
Bef或e traveling outside the US, make sure your data is updated and accurate in 或der to facilitate your readmission to the US. Pri或 to each trip, you must complete the 旅行许可或I-20更新表 online through our 国际学生 p或tal at oiss.pepperdine.edu
Please allow up to five business days f或 processing, depending on the number of requests received ahead of yours. 当你的I-20表格准备好后，OISS会通过电子邮件通知你。 如有紧急情况，请致电310.506.4246预约就诊。

This process revalidates the expired visa (making it eligible f或 the single trip), but does not renew it. This benefit also applies to nonimmigrants who have changed nonimmigrant 华体会体育 in the U.S., whose visa is still in the categ或y in which they had entered the U.S. In that case, the visa is considered "converted" to the proper visa categ或y as well as "extended" to allow re-entry.
