I am done with my program. How long can I stay in the US?

M-1 students (and their dependents) are allowed to stay in the United States for one year with two additional years of extension if study in the program is required OR for as long as they are enrolled as a full-time student in a vocational program (plus 30 days after their program ends to prepare for departure), whichever is shorter. Students (and dependents) should not travel outside the US while in their 30-day grace period as they will not be allowed to re-enter the United States.
