※ 引述《larryeipi (Hornbill)》之铭言:
对不起,我没有把我的状况说清楚
: 我暑假计划去美国Columbia大学暑修 (不是语言课程)
: 看了学校网页上关於签证的说明,我还是不清楚我该申请哪种签证
: http://www.ce.columbia.edu/summer/admissionInternational.cfm
: People admitted to study at Columbia University who are not a United States
: citizens or permanent residents must be a full-time student at

: non-credit bearing courses (such as noncredit foreign language or auditing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: courses) are not eligible for F-1 status.

我预计上的课程是5周的有机化学 三学分
照上面说的,我似乎没有办法申请F-1签证
(其实我觉得很奇怪,summer怎麽有办法修到12学分,因为summer的课几乎都是
礼拜一到五,半天的课。这样才不过三到四学分)
可是照下面说的,我可以用观光签证吗?
: Eligible international students who wish to apply for an F-1 visa should do
: so immediately after they have received their letter of admission to the
: School of Continuing Education by contacting the International Students and
: Scholars Office at Columbia (below) at least three months before the first
: day of class. Students will then be sent information about obtaining an F-1
: visa. Once in the United States in F-1 status, students must register for at
: least 12 points of credit-bearing courses at the beginning of the semester
: and remain so registered throughout the course of the academic term. Students
: attending the Summer Session must register for the entire 12-week period at

: student will be reported in violation of F-1 regulations to the United States
: Department of Homeland Security.
: Visitors (those in B-1, B-2, WB or WT status) are not allowed to visit the
: United States for the purpose of taking courses at the University.
: Regulations do not allow visitors (B-1, B-2, WT or WB) who intend to enroll

: International students who require a student (F-1) visa to study at Columbia
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
: 是不是我只能够申请观光签证呢...
还是照最後一行说的,我必须要付intenational service fee
然後他可以给我办F1的权利?
抱歉,第一次出国 一切都还不太懂
可以请板上有经验的人告诉我吗? 谢谢!
