Extensions

F-1 & J-1 students who do not complete their program of study by the expiration date noted on their I-20 or DS-2019 form must apply for a program extension before the I-20/DS-2019 expiration date. Failure to extend your stay could jeopardize your legal status and require that you depart the U.S. or file with USCIS for reinstatement of your student status.
