Inputs don't leave your browser. Use them to plan, then book a Status Review if you want a second pair of eyes on your specific situation.

Tool 01

Transition Timeline Calculator

Pick your path — F-1 → F-1 or another visa → F-1 — and enter your end date. We'll generate personalized milestones with buffers built in. F-1 → F-1 doesn't need an I-539; we'll show you the SEVIS transfer timeline instead.

Your path

Current F-1 / OPT end dateThe later of your program end date or OPT end date.New program start (optional)

F-1 → F-1: Handled by your DSOs via SEVIS transfer or new I-20 — usually in 2–3 weeks.

Enter your F-1 / OPT end date

We'll generate a personalized SEVIS-transfer timeline — apply-by, I-20 target, transfer release, and grace-period deadlines.
