Sidhu...Sidhaarth Roy Posted March 4, 2011 Report Posted March 4, 2011 [size=10pt][font=arial black][b]What is reinstatement?[/b][/font][/size]The student may apply to DHS for reinstatement if the violation resulted from circumstances beyond his or her control. Reinstatement is intended to be a rare benefit for exceptional cases. The student may not apply for reinstatement if he or she is out of status longer than five months. If DHS does not reinstate the student, he or she may not appeal that decision. Filing for reinstatement is a procedure that allows a student to explain to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) the circumstances that caused a violation of F-1 visa regulations and termination of the student's SEVIS immigration record.If an F-1 student has violated status, all F-1 visa benefits are suspended until reinstatement if approved by USCIS. [size=10pt][font=arial black][b]When should I apply for reinstatement to F-1 status?[/b][/font][/size]We strongly recommend that you apply for reinstatement within 5 months of your violation (ie; the termination date on your SEVIS record.) Waiting more than 5 months to apply will most likely result in a denial of reinstatement to F-1 status.[size=10pt][font=arial black][b]Is there another option available?[/b][/font][/size]A student may choose to travel and re -enter the United States rather than filing for reinstatement. The advisor will issue a new SEVIS I-20 for the purpose of travel and re-entry. The student will use this I-20 to apply for a new visa, if needed (The student should discuss with the advisor if a new visa is required.)[size=10pt][font=arial black][b]When will I get an answer from the USCIS?[/b][/font][/size]The USCIS may take 6 months or more to make a final decision regarding your reinstatement to F-1 status. In the meantime, you should continue to follow F-1 visa guidelines until a decision is made. It is important that you have a copy of the "reinstatement I-20" in your possession. [size=10pt][font=arial black][b]What are the consequences of a reinstatement denial?[/b][/font][/size]• The visa that the student used to enter the United States is automatically cancelled. • The student is permanently limited to applying for nonimmigrant visas in the future only in his or her country of citizenship or permanent residence. • The student will begin accumulating days of “unlawful presence.” If the student remains in the United States after the denial for over 180 days, he or she will be barred from the United States for three years; if he or she remains after the denial for one year or more, her or she will be barred from the United States for ten years.
