Thread: Article: F1 Visa Stamped for 2 years instead of 5 years

What about OPT ? If you receive a 2 year VISA, would you be able to do one year OPT after course completion? This would be a problem I guess.

Hey am bharadwajponnala even I got visa stampd fr only 2 yrs... Hw cn I opt my OPT

You can get extension of Visa very easily. Apply 6-7 months for extension before your Visa expires. Even if your visa expires and your i20 is active. yOU can stay in US and get extension before you leave US.

It's not atall a big problem.

Visa is considered as only the entry ticket to USA or any country. Once you are here, you have to maintain your status. So even if your visa gets expire after 2 years you can still live here, but you are out of status. So in that case, you have to be in status. So If you get OPT after 2 years, your status will be employeed and you will be in status.

The only things matters is that, with expire visa is that you can't re-enter US. If you have employement letter with expire visa, you are good. You can stay here. And you have to renew it.
Hope this piece of information will help. Relax and get ready for USA trip !!!!!!!!!!
