I would like to ask something about my F-1 visa.I was in Uconn last semester for studying english but for this semester,I did not want to continue with ucaeli.Therefore, I quitted from there and my F-1 was stopped. After that, my advisor said "You have a 60 day grace period after the end date of your I-20 to stay in the US." The thing is that I have also tourist visa which expires 2018.Thus, I do not want to come back my country. I want to go Canada to go out from the USA and come back again to the USA with my tourist visa.Do you know can I do it and If I can do it, how many days should I stay in Canada? Thank you..

Do you have a tourist visa to visit Canada?

Is your tourist visa still valid after the issuance of the F-1?

This might be a question for someone at the POE you'd like to enter at

What is your intentions of entering under your tourist visa? You'll have to go home eventually as neither then F-1 or a tourist visa is an immigrant visa

Good luck

Also, just because your tourist visa expires in 2018, does not mean you are authorized to stay in the US that long. Typically it is between 3 adn 6 months that you are given.

Good luck

I suspect that if you obtained and used your F-1 visa after the tourist visa was issued, the tourist visa became invalid.

I would like to ask something about my F-1 visa.I was in Uconn last semester for studying english but for this semester,I did not want to continue with ucaeli.Therefore, I quitted from there and my F-1 was stopped. After that, my advisor said "You have a 60 day grace period after the end date of your I-20 to stay in the US." The thing is that I have also tourist visa which expires 2018.Thus, I do not want to come back my country. I want to go Canada to go out from the USA and come back again to the USA with my tourist visa.Do you know can I do it and If I can do it, how many days should I stay in Canada? Thank you..
