Hello Explorer, My Opt expired on June 16th. I have a 60 days grace period till August 16th. I issued a new I-20 last week for Fall semester in my grace period. I-20 was issued on July 31st. In my I-20 it says student is expected to report to the school no later than 9/4/07. So just because I have a new I-20 for Fall ( issued between June 16th - Oct 1st) and in my SEVIS record I am in F-1 in 7/31/07 will this not help me to show my legal status in between my OPT expiration date and my H1B start date. OPT expired on 6-16-07 I-20 issued on 7-31-07 School starts from 9-4-07 Let me know what you think. Appreciate your help.
