ויזת סטודנט

Hi Rinat - Thank you for your email. To answer your first question, your student status is only valid as long as you remain a full-time student in your approved school. Therefore, if you stop attending this school before completing this program, then you are no longer in student status and you must leave the US within 15 days. However, if you successfully finish the program, then you have 60 days before you need to leave the US. As for your tourist visa, it should still be valid (not cancelled). As for your chances to obtain a student visa while back in Israel, you first still need to be enrolled in the school. Therefore, if you quit the program then you cannot get the student visa. Secondly, the US Embassy will need to be satisfied that you are strongly connected to Israel and that you will return to Israel after you finish your studies. This can be hard to prove, which means it is not always easy to be approved for a student visa, even after you already started the program. I hope this helps.
