    Default F1 Out of Status for More Than 5months, Planning a Reentry

    I am an F1 international student and I have not registered for classes from January 2012 and my SEVIS got terminated on March2012 and its been more than 5months since my SEVIS is terminated.

    The school DSO asked me to get a new initial I-20 from another school and try to do a reentry and there is no guarantee that you'll be able to return.But, my Visa is valid till 2014

    He told me that I don't need a new Visa for reentry using a new initial I-20 from a different school.

    But my question is-is there any options that I will be able to do a reentry after me being out of status for more than 5months and is there any other option apart from marriage to get back to status.

    I just needed 1 more semester to complete my graduation and the school DSO told me to do an immediate transfer from the new school if I am able to do a reentry.


    Can someone help me out regarding this complicated situation.

    You are not guaranteed to be able to transfer to you old school since the new one may refuse to allow the immediate transfer.

    If the DSO really gave you that advice - ie a way to circumvent US regulations, the school is likely a diploma or visa mill. That being the case, your degree will not be worth anything.

    Also, marriage for an immigration benefit is not permitted by US law.
