How to Get a New Visa
If you have been admitted to TTU and are outside the US or if you are a current student at TTU and your visa has expired, you need to get a new visa from a U.S. consulate or embassy when you travel, You can't apply for a new visa inside the U.S. Please note that current students only need a visa for travel. Expired visas are not a problem unless you need to travel outside the US and will re-enter. Learn about the complete list of documents you need to compile for your new visa application at the U.S. government web site where you will apply. Visit www.ustraveldocs.com.
