If you are an international student in the U.S. on an F-1 or J-1 visa, you might have heard about visa revocation notices going out recently. Sounds scary, right? 😨
But don’t panic! The University of Calgary has explained what this really means—and it is not as bad as it sounds. Let’s break it down in simple terms:
✅ You can stay in the U.S. – If your visa is revoked, it does NOT affect your student status if you are already in the U.S. You can still study and live normally as long as your school documents (I-20 or DS-2019) are valid.
❌ You can’t re-enter – If you leave the U.S. after your visa has been revoked, you will need to apply for a new visa before returning.
🔎 How do you know if your visa was revoked?
- You might get an email or letter from the U.S. embassy.
- You might only find out when traveling, especially at the airport.
✈️ Planning to travel soon?
- Before you book a flight, check with the U.S. embassy that issued your visa.
- Talk to your school's international student office for guidance.
- If needed, consult an immigration lawyer for expert advice.
💡 Bottom Line:
If you are already in the U.S. and have no travel plans, relax—you are fine! Just make sure to stay enrolled and keep your school records updated.
