The US visa is placed on a page in your passport and verifies that a consular officer deemed you eligible to apply for admission to the US in a particular classification, such as F-1 student, J-1 student, etc.<\/p>\n<p>At the US Port of Entry, a Customs and Border Protection officer will make the final decision on whether you are eligible to enter the US and determines your length of stay.<\/p>\n<p>Important Information about Your Visa<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Take note of your visa expiration date. If your visa expires while you are in the US, do not worry. You can stay in the US with an expired visa as long as you are maintaining your student status. If you are planning to travel outside of the US, you will need to have your visa renewed before you return.<\/li>\n<li>Your F-1 visa entry stamp is issued when you arrive at the Port of Entry. It should have F-1 or J-1 as the class and \u201cD\/S\u201d as the expiration. D\/S means that you have been granted Duration of Status, which means that you can remain in the US as long as you are maintaining F-1 status.<\/li>\n<li>If you lose your passport, your visa cannot be replaced in your new US passport. You will have to apply for a new visa at a US Embassy or Consulate abroad.<\/li>\n<li>You may have more than 1 visa in your passport, but you can only inter the US in one status. The visa which is used to grant admission to the US becomes the status you will hold. For example, if you have a valid B-2 visa and a valid F-1 visa in your passport and you are admitted to the US with the F-1 visa, you will be in F-1 status in the US.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/i94.cbp.dhs.gov\/I94\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Your admission status can also be viewed on your I-94<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n            \n                                    \n<div\n    id=\"visa-and-passport-renewals-2\"\n    x-data=\"accordion('visa-and-passport-renewals-2')\"\n    class=\"rounded-lg overflow-hidden mb-2 transition-all duration-300 ease-out bg-gray-50\"\n    x-bind:class=\"expanded ?
