今年12月毕业,正在申请的OPT是明年二月的start date,本来计划在圣诞节附近去波多黎各玩,但现在有点担心.

我在ICE官网看到这样一段话.

You can usually revalidate an expired visa automatically when returning from a visit of less than thirty days to Canada, Mexico, or one of the islands adjacent to the United States (other than Cuba) provided that you have a valid Form I-20 and a valid unexpired Form I-94. This process is known as automatic visa revalidation.

是说即使F-1过期,但有valid I-20, valid I-94, (我在别的地方看到说还需要valid SEVIS), 就是可以重返美国. 但我不太清楚这个I-20, I-94, SEVIS的valid是如何定义的?不会是毕业了就无效了吧。。? OPT我目前在申请,可能在圣诞节附近都未必能收到EAD.

有没有类似经历或者调研过的同学?

更正

问题有些不准确,我才知道波多黎各和墨西哥以及加勒比并不是一个性质...

Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virign Islands
These are U.S. territories and thus an F-1 student does not need a visa to travel to those locations from within the U.S., or to return to the U.S. from those locations.
