Alright, so you’re askin’ about this “exchange visitor number” thingy on your F1 form, huh? Sounds fancy, but don’t you go gettin’ your knickers in a twist. It ain’t as complicated as them city folks make it out to be.
Now, I ain’t no scholar, mind you, but I’ve heard things. Seems like this number is somethin’ they give to folks comin’ over here to study or swap smarts, you know, like them “exchange visitors.” But if you’re just a regular student, comin’ here on that F1 thingamajig, then you probably ain’t got one of them fancy exchange visitor numbers.
So, what do you do? Well, from what I gather, you just gotta write “NA” on that blank space. Yep, just “NA,” means “not applicable,” see? Means you ain’t got one, plain and simple. Don’t go frettin’ and tryin’ to make somethin’ up, ’cause that’ll just cause a heap of trouble.
They got this whole system, see? They call it “SEVIS.” Sounds like some kinda new-fangled gadget, but it’s just a way for them government folks to keep track of all the students and visitors comin’ in and out. It’s like a big ol’ list, and everyone gets a number. If you’re an F1 student, you got a SEVIS number, that’s for sure. But that ain’t the same as an exchange visitor number, no sirree.
- F1 Student? You got a SEVIS number.
- Exchange Visitor? You got an Exchange Visitor Number.
- Just a regular F1 student? Write “NA” for the Exchange Visitor Number. Don’t go makin’ things up!
Now, some folks get all confused, thinkin’ SEVIS and exchange visitor numbers are the same thing. But they ain’t, not quite. Think of it like this: you got your name, right? And then you got your address. Both tell folks about you, but they ain’t the same thing. SEVIS is like your name, everyone’s gotta have one. Exchange visitor number is like your address, only some folks got it.
I heard tell that this exchange visitor number is somethin’ the government gives to folks comin’ here on special programs, learnin’ stuff and sharin’ their smarts. If you ain’t on one of them programs, then you ain’t got nothin’ to worry about. Just write “NA” and be done with it.
Don’t you go listenin’ to them folks tryin’ to make it sound all complicated. They just like to use big words to make themselves sound important. It’s all just a bunch of paperwork, if you ask me. Just fill in the blanks, do what they tell you, and you’ll be alright.
And for goodness sake, don’t go watchin’ too many of them youtube videos. Them young folks, they think they know everything, but half the time they just stirrin’ up trouble. Stick to what the official folks tell you, and you can’t go wrong. If they say write “NA,” then you write “NA,” and that’s the end of it.
So, there you have it. Ain’t nothin’ to it, really. Just a bunch of mumbo jumbo, if you ask me. But you gotta play along, do what they want, and you’ll get your papers sorted out. Now, go on and get that form filled out, and don’t you worry your pretty little head about it no more.
Remember this: F1 students mostly have a SEVIS number, not an exchange visitor number. If they ask for an exchange visitor number and you don’t have one, just put “NA”. Simple as that! No need to lose sleep over it. Just keep things straight, and you’ll be fine.
One last thing, make sure you keep all your papers together. Don’t go losin’ ’em, ’cause that’ll just cause a whole heap of problems. And if you get confused, just ask someone who knows. Don’t be ashamed to ask for help, that’s what folks are there for. But don’t go askin’ just anybody, make sure they know what they’re talkin’ about.
Alright, I think that’s about all I got to say on this matter. Hope it helped you out some. Now, go on and get that form done, and good luck to ya!
