[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do agree with 13:33 in a way.  I also don't understand why you are getting an MBA if you already have a degree in Special Ed.  Why not a Masters in Education?   Something about this post seems a bit off.  I'm not sure if it is because this set up doesn't sound like most CC I've heard of (a separate medical campus, they are in charge of your visas etc).   [/quote]

OP here.

I'm getting an MBA just to keep my visa. It's one of those for profit schools so it was easy and very cheap. Their campus is across the street from my house (international students can't take more than a few online credits) and they have very easy courses in schedules that are mom friendly.

Every school that welcomes international students is responsible for their visa. They're the ones who will explain you how to keep your status and what you must do. They report to immigration on your behalf to let them know you're compliant (or not) and they issue you authorizations to travel and letters you can show the immigration and American Embassy to support what we're saying during the interviews. [/quote]

They are responsible for certifying your student status and letting the government know that you are in status with letters that indicate that fact.  Period.  They are NOT responsible for your visa or your travel authorization.  Those are official United States Government documents.[/quote]

The school issues the I-20 and they need to sign it for me to travel. If they don't sign it I can't re-enter the country. The I-20 is the travel authorization if you're an F1. While I'm responsible for my visa, I can't get one out of the blue. I need supporting paperwork from the institution I'm attending. And yes they're responsible for educating us regarding what we need to travel back and forth. I found conflicting information when I read the information online and went to ISO to clarify.  I asked school if I would need a new stamp on my visa they said NO and I trusted them. Turns out I needed a new one and for me to get a new one they needed to send me the support paperwork, I needed signatures from my sponsor, etc. [/quote]

An I-20 is simply a form the school fills out and returns to the government certifying that you are a full time student.  It's not a travel authorization.[/quote]

When you're a F1 it is. You cannot travel without since you won't be allowed back into the country without one with the signature of the International Student Advisor/Counselor.[/quote]
