Post Body

Hi all. Canadian citizen here. I am planning to start school at a US school from August 25th. Want to visit the US this weekend to find housing, do a few viewings, hopefully finalize something, come back to Canada to wrap things up, and then move formally a week or so before August 25th.

Should I enter the US this weekend on F1 status or is it OK to go as a visitor? Please keep in mind I was in the US the entire last week as well on a visitor status because my grace period to enter the US as F1 student hadn’t started at the time.

Thanks all
