Dear Friends,

Anyone of you guys know about clearance time of returning students, moreover anyone knows about the chance of returning students of getting visa again?

Cheers

اغلب دوستان من که اخیرا به ایران رفته‌اند حدود ۴-۵ ماه منتظر کلیرنس بوده‌اند و به نظر می‌رسه که مدت کلیرنس برای returning student ها کمی طولانی‌تر باشه. شانس گرفتن ویزا اما زیاده و تعداد returning studentهایی که نتونسته‌اند ویزای بازگشت بگیرند خیلی کمه.

[m-lawyer]

البته تاجایی که من فهمیدم مدت کلیرنس برای اون دسته از returning student هایی زیاده که مدت بیشتری رو آمریکا بودند( و مثلا بعد از چند سال برگشتند). یعنی در واقع تجربه نشون برخی از دوستان من نشون می ده که مدت زندگی در آمریکا رابطه مستقیم با مدت کلیرنس داره.(البته این فقط تجربه برخی از دوستان من است و قطعی نیست)

[Sara.Sh]

ویزای من دانشجویی نبود و بار دوم که اقدام کردم 16 روزه کلیر شدم
اما یکی از دوستانم که یک سال با ویزای J1 در آمریکا بود و بار دوم برای F1 اقدام میکرد کلیرنس شون حدود یک ماه طول کشید.
