- Change of Status:
In some cases, individuals may be able to change their status within the US. For instance, if an Israeli student graduates and finds employment related to their field of study, they may apply for Optional Practical Training (OPT), which allows international students to work temporarily in the US after completing their degree.
- Extension or Restoration:
If the student visa expired recently, the individual may be able to apply for an extension or restoration of their status before departing from the US. This may depend on the reasons for the visa expiration and the circumstances surrounding it.
- Adjustment of Status:
Under certain circumstances, individuals may be eligible for adjustment of status, which involves applying for a green card (permanent residency) while remaining in the US. This may be possible if, for instance, the student marries a US citizen or has an employer willing to sponsor them.
- Temporary Protected Status (TPS):
Israeli citizens may be eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) if Israel is designated as a TPS country by the US. TPS allows certain individuals from designated countries to remain and work temporarily in the US under specific conditions.
It's important to note that these options may have specific requirements, deadlines, and processes associated with them, so it's recommended to consult with an experienced immigration attorney or the nearest US embassy or consulate for accurate guidance based on the specific situation and circumstances.
