I traveled to the United States last year and am going to study in the United States today. Do I need a face-to-face visa change? Kneel for the answer ~

Yes, because you study abroad, the visa type will become f-1;

Visa exemption means applying for visa exemption within 1 month after your visa expires on the premise that you should not apply for a visa type;

But if the embassy has other needs or they want to verify something, you still need to go for an interview!

I hope I can help you!
