I can bet you that I have not seen a single book in my life which has covered so many aspects about the US student visa. Practically nothing is left uncovered.
F-1 Visa lapse while you are at the US school
There is absolutely no problem if your visa has expired while you are still a full-time international student maintaining your needed credit hours of study and attending school normally. This does not cause any immigration issues. Your visa validity only shows the last date before which you should have entered the US. It does not disqualify you from being legally present in the US after the visa expiry date, nor does it prevent you from being a full-time student.
But once you exit the US, you should be ready to go face a new student visa interview before you can return back on your newly issued student visa. This is because you CANNOT renew your student visa while you are still inside US. You must exit the US and face an interview to get your new visa. One of the added requirements during such an interview for a student visa may be the visa officer asking to look at the unofficial transcript of the courses that you are doing or have already completed.
Long stay outside US
If you stay outside US for a continuous period of 5 months or more than, you cannot enter back in US on your previously valid student visa. You must re-appear for a student visa interview. If your visa application gets approved successfully during interview, only then you may return back to US with a new visa sticker in your passport.
Passport expiry while in US
When your present passport is close to expiry or may have already expired or if its available blank pages for stamps and visa are full, then you should apply promptly for a new passport. You need to apply for it at the nearest consulate or embassy of your country whose passport you hold.
US Visa is valid and passport is expired. Can I enter into US?
