是:原始非美元消费金额×visa入账当天汇率 约等于 账单上入账的美元金额,注意约

我已经说了你的逻辑的问题:
1. 你的四个样本中三个最多只能说明chase接近visa,不能说明’所有visa信用卡的汇

2. 唯一可能说明事情的那个数据,我已经说了,我的表只有一项是我算的,其他数据

,因为本来外汇兑换率就变化不大,其次,消费金额不大。其次你的逻辑是只要有误差
就是四舍五入的错,你要知道银行不一定按四舍五入来计算,抱歉。
3. 用小样本,还是不同地点和时间数据下结论是危险的

No. If your visa is still valid you can travel to the United States with

一下:
个人情况,现在是F1的VISA,计划明年3月份毕业答辩,距离上次回国已经2年了,美国
VISA于一年前就过期了,目前I20的有效期是到明年5月。目前已经有job offer,但OPT
还没开始申请。
1. 如果2012年1月份回国renew VISA,那新的VISA的有效期是到I20的截止日期(05/20
12),还是再给一年?假设我回国前不申请OPT。
2a. 如果我申请了OPT并于3月中旬生效拿到EAD后,但在正式开始上班之前,我回趟国是
不是也没问题?
2b.考古了一下,只要OPT的EAD卡、新的I20和Job Offer Letter在手,回去renew F-1

入职之间的空隙回国,不知道这与普通OPT全职工作期间回国有没有什么差别?

m*********t 发帖数: 1250 | 40 在版上的精华区和帖子里搜了半天,也没找到想要的答案,希望有经验的人指点一二。
我的case是F-1 VISA已经过期两年了,准备3月份去德国开个会,开完会直接回国renew
F1 VISA。在身边有些类似例子但申请非德国(如法国和荷兰)申根VISA成功的同学那
里得知只要出示回国机票和行程即可。
但是,搜索了半年貌似发现德国使馆的要求较他国要更严格,于是想请有过在德国DC使
馆F1过期成功拿到申根的人分享一下经验。德国使馆网页的VISA F&Q也明确说了需要
Valid US VISA,不知道我这种情况是否依然会要求那么严格。
现在比较急的一点,是我基本上把机票和旅馆,包括回中国的机票和旅馆都订好了,如
果德国的申根VISA出现问题,改行程就会很麻烦。
在此非常感谢!
BTW:如果自己成功拿到德国申根VISA,必奉上签经回馈大家! |

1. F1 VISA已经过期,申请申根签证是可行的,这点不但其他网友和身边朋友在荷兰和
法国使馆证实了,而且本人几天前刚刚也在德国DC大使馆申请成功。并且,我在德国使
馆的网页上留言,跟VISA Officer电话交流中也确认是允许的。

关键点总结一下:
1. F1 VISA已经过期,申请申根签证是可行的,这点不但其他网友和身边朋友在荷兰和
法国使馆证实了,而且本人几天前刚刚也在德国DC大使馆申请成功。并且,我在德国使
馆的网页上留言,跟VISA Officer电话交流中也确认是允许的。

s******2 发帖数: 98 | 43 I am planning to travel to France in the middle of March. Currently I have
the I-797 notice of action. After I got my I-797, I never leave US. I did
some homework on the board and found that I might need a valid visa in order
to get my French visa. I also checked with the embassy requirment, it says:

- A valid U.S. permanent residence card ("green card") or a valid US visa

z*****e 发帖数: 1 | 44 给Chicago的办事处打电话,officer死活不肯电话里回答,要面谈或者发邮件。
然后发了邮件,但是一天了也还没回。因为一些原因,要赶紧定下来是否可以拿到visa
成行,所以比较着急。请知道的朋友帮忙啦!
我的情况是这样,我是中国国籍,来美留学PhD,是non-resident。然后去Italy是开学
术会议,所以要申请的是Schengen Visa。只去Italy,开完会立刻回US。
大使馆网页上对于International Student有一个要求 " Only holders of one of the
following document/visa are eligible to apply, providing that they are
valid at least three months beyond the intended departure from the Schengen

d******2 发帖数: 348 | 45 visa stamp和visa status之间是独立的关系吗?
现在H1 visa stamp通常是一年有效,多效往返。
如果 visa status不到一年,visa stamp还会给一年吗?还是会跟着visa status一起?
谢谢! |

d******2 发帖数: 348 | 46 楼上两位给的答案似乎完全不一样啊。。。
我的H1 2014年9月要renew. 但是我想2014年1月回国首次签H1 visa stamp,然后2014
年底去别的国家。 现在我想不明白会是哪一种情况?谢谢了!
1)1月回国签visa stamp,给我一年多次往返。我在14年10月重新renew H1之后,年底
去别的国家回美还需要重新签证。
2)1月回国签visa stamp,给我一年多次往返。我在14年10月重新renew H1之后,年底
去别的国家回美 不再 需要重新签证。
3)1月回国签visa stamp,给我的visa stamp到visa status过期日,即14年9月。 |

m****t 发帖数: 703 | 48 背景:申请人在Canada,持有十年B1/B2 visa。
问题:
在 Form I-129被approved之后,必须去当地US consulate申请H-1B visa吗?
USICS网站上说"if required",有B1/B2还required吗?后面说的apply to CBP for
admission in H-1B classification是什么意思?在边境那里申请(持B1/B2 visa+I-
129 approval),就是I-94?
规定如下:
Step 3: Prospective Workers Outside the United States Apply for Visa and/or
Admission.
Once the Form I-129 petition has been approved, the prospective H-1B worker
who is outside the United States may apply with the U.S. Department of State
