Hello all,
I am filling my citizenship application and I have a que on which dates to use to answer Q13.
I lived in USA on student visa from Aug-2012 to April-2019 (Month I landed in US is Aug-2012)but my original visa stamp only listed the validity years between June-2012-June-2017. For 2018 and 2019, I have enrolled back in college and maintained my student status (I-20) and finally left the country in April 2019.
So, my que is - Should I put the dates as June-2012-June-2017 ( as mentioned in the Visa stamp) or should I mention them as Aug-2012-April-2019(Year&month I entered and left the country)

The visa on your passport is only for travel, once you start your school and maintain your F1 in the US , you continue to be on the same visa unless you upgrade to a different visa say H1B / B1/B2 /H4. As long you had a valid I-20 from your new school and legally maintained F1 status, you will be on student visa status with the USCIS irrespective of your stamp date on Passport . The stamp on the passport is only required since you belong from a country which doesnot have a waiver free travel with USA.
Your F1 student visa period is from Aug-2012- April-2019 period.
