just make sure when you apply for the I-20 you have a new sevis no on that I-20(renewal)


reinstate= for someone who didnt maintain f1 status by not attending school for a semester and now wants to come back to f1 ( reinstating the old status has old sevis no.)


Renewal= for someone who changed from f1 to different valid  visa status and want to come back to f1 again (renewal of f1 status comes with new sevis no.)
