There are two main ways for junior students to transfer to the United States for undergraduate studies: major transfer and credit transfer.

1, change major:

In terms of majors, American schools have relatively high requirements for foreign students' psychology, pedagogy and domestic laws, so it will be more difficult to apply simply from the perspective of application.

Step 2 transfer credit

First of all, you should have studied in the university for at least one year. And the number of students to be transferred is directly proportional to the content of the study.

Secondly, the credits you can transfer to should be determined according to your major.

Finally, be sure to send the CourseDeion of the courses you have already studied to the registration center of the university you reported.

Generally speaking, the best time to transfer to America is sophomore year. Many schools require students to complete 60 credits before applying for transfer. Generally speaking, American undergraduate students need 120 credits, and 30 credits in one year after four years. The credit that full-time students can get in one semester is 12- 18. This means that students can only complete these credits after finishing their sophomore year. Of course, some schools only require 30 credits. Students can apply to transfer to the United States as long as they complete their freshman courses in China. The specific requirements for different situations are as follows:

1, less than twenty or thirty credits (half a year, less than one year), most schools require SAT (scholastic assessment test, commonly known as American college entrance examination) scores, because the scores of freshmen in the last semester have not come out at the time of application, so the audit focus is on high school scores.

2, more than 24 or 30 credits, less than 60 credits (freshmen to sophomores), most schools do not require SAT, and the focus of the audit is on college scores, followed by TOEFL.

3, 60 credits or more (sophomore to junior), most schools do not require SAT, and the focus of the audit is college grades, followed by TOEFL.

About the transfer part. It's not that junior and senior students are not allowed to transfer, but the transfer policy in the United States suggests that college students with 30 -60 credits or more apply for transfer. More than 60 credits (generally junior) can only be transferred to 60 credits, and other credits are not allowed to be transferred. In other words, it will take you two years to get a bachelor's degree.

The validity of a visa refers to a period of time from the date of issuance of the visa to the future. After this period, the visa will be invalid. Generally, countries issue entry visas valid for 3 months, while some countries issue entry visas valid for 1 month. Some countries have strict restrictions on the validity of visas, such as Germany, which only issues visas according to the date of application. The validity of transit visas is generally short.

The duration of the visa refers to the time allowed for the holder to stay after entering the country. The difference between it and the visa validity period is that the visa validity period refers to the use period of the visa, that is, the holder can enter and leave the country within the specified time. If the visa is valid for 3 months and the stay period is l5 days, the visa can enter or leave the country on any day within 3 months from the date of issuance, but the holder can only stay in the country for 15 days from the date of entry to the date of exit.

Some countries must enter the country within 3 months after issuance, and the stay period after entry is 1 month; In some countries, the visa entry period and stay period are the same. For example, the validity period and stay period of the American visitor visa is three months, that is, the entrant is valid for three months and can only stay for three months after entering the country. The validity period of the visa is generally 1 month or 3 months; The longest is generally half a year or more than 1 year, such as employment and study visa; The shortest is 3 days or 7 days, such as a transit visa.

A work visa refers to an application made by an applicant and a foreigner other than the nationality of the applicant country to the embassy of the applicant country and employed by a formal institution certified by the applicant country. A work visa is a permit to work in the territory of the applicant country and a legally binding non-immigrant document. If you are an international student, different countries apply for different types of work visas after graduation. British students can only apply for three kinds of work visas after graduation: second-class visa, fifth-class temporary work visa and first-class (graduate entrepreneur) visa.

Validity times In addition to the validity period and stay period, the visa also stipulates the validity times. Generally, it is divided into one valid visa, two valid visas and multiple valid visas. The number of times a visa is valid means that once it is used within the validity period, it will be invalid. Two valid visas, that is, you can use them twice within the validity period of the visa.

Multiple valid visas, that is, within the validity period of the visa, the holder can enter and leave its territory multiple times. For example, some tourist visas for Australia and India allow multiple entry and exit within three or six months. In some countries, work visas are also applicable to multiple entry. Of course, what kind of visa to issue, how long it is valid and how many times it is valid are decided by the visa authority according to the specific situation of the entry applicant.
