Hello everyone,

Recently applied for and received my F4 Visa... or so I thought.

Looking at the actual document in my passport, I noticed it's marked as follows:

Status: F42. Period of Sojourn: 2Y Entries: M
Issue Date: 2013/05/01 Final Entry Date: 2018/05/01

From what I gather, F4s are renewable every 2 years (a relatively painless process is the rumor)... and as it reads, my final entry date is 5 years from issuance.

But F42? Something better than the F4? Something worse?
Haven't found anything on the web regarding this. Any ideas?

Hope you're having a good weekend and appreciate your help.
