Mission Accomplished!!! (in reply to: please put your opinion) Are you kidding!!! Ofcourse not. You must get a new visa. You can stay in the country as long as you are a fulltime student even after your visa expired but you cant come back without a new visa.

(in reply to: please put your opinion) Ofcourse you can. If your I-20 is valid, even your visa is expired. This program called revalidation. This is for 30 days only. Please, contact with your DSO or forigen student adviser.

(in reply to: please put your opinion) For travel to Canada or Mexico, first check with your Embassy to see if a tourist visa will be required to enter either country.You will need to have your passport, visa documents (I-94 card and I-20 or DS-2019), and Baruch Colege student ID card with you when you travel, and be certain that your I-20 or DS-2019 has an authorizing signature for travel no older than February 1, 2005. Canada now requires tourist visa applications to present a letter from their school´s international student office, verifying their status as a student.
In 2002, The U.S. Department of State announced new rules for non-immigrants who use the "automatic revalidation of visa" benefit [22 CFR 41.112(d)] to re-enter the United States after a 30-day or less visit to a "contiguous territory" (Canada, Mexico, and, in the case of F and J non-immigrants, the "adjacent islands other than Cuba") without having to obtain a new visa prior to re-entry. To qualify for this privilege, you must:
Presently be in valid F-1 student / scholar status.
Have a valid SEVIS I-20 in your possession, which has been signed for travel Have a valid SEVIS I-94 card with you (do NOT surrender it when you leave the U.S.)
Have a valid passport
Be in one of the contiguous territories or adjacent islands for less than thirty (30) days.
