Hi All,

 

Friend of mine got visa stamped for a university in US for fall 2015. Due to some personal reasons he is planning to postpone his study for summer 2016. I know usually colleges issue new I20's for the coming semester in those situations. Now my question is does he need to go to stamping again for the spring 2016 ?

 

Are there any other things that I need to consider, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

My understanding is that if it has been more than 5 months since the visa was issued and he didn't come to the US, he needs a new visa.

Yes, I had forgotten that. It is better to apply again, it is highly likely to be approved if for the same school and program.
