The Problem
Students — especially international students — juggle a unique mix of time-sensitive documents. Visa stamps expire. Scholarship applications have firm deadlines that, once missed, cannot be recovered. FAFSA has both federal and state deadlines. Health insurance waivers are due before the semester starts. Immunization records need updating for enrollment.
For international students, the stakes are even higher. An expired visa stamp does not necessarily mean you must leave (if your I-20 is current), but it does mean you cannot re-enter the country if you travel. Missing an OPT application window after graduation can close that path entirely.
