Can I come to the US 60 days after school has resumed?

Accepted answer

You are going to need a very good reason for your late arrival, and will need permission from your school. The school may insist that you defer your start until the next term, or even the next year, if they believe that you will have missed too much of the course to be able to catch up.

In visa terms if the school agrees to your late start you will need a "late arrival permission letter" from your school which you should be prepared to present to immigration.

In general, a student cannot arrive more than one week after classes start and must be enrolled full time for that semester. Students who are not able to enter the U.S. by the program start date on the I-20/DS-2019 must contact their academic department to request a late arrival permission letter.

Starting 30-60 days late is going to involve a huge amount of work, and it may be in your own interests to defer your start until the course takes in new students again, usually a term or a year later.
