. Alright, guys. I don't think you need to be offensive and call people names. From the few offensive remarks made against me, I realize that my answer might have touched some nerves. I apologize for that. I was not trying to scare anyone.

My answer was based on what I was told by a friend of mine. He came to a university in Maryland, and later transferred to a community college. He also decided to go back to Nepal, just like gauleketo. When he went to his international advisor, he was told that he might face problems due to the visa being in the previous university's name, and his I-20 being in his current community college's name.

I never said you should not travel at all. All I said was that it was risky because immigration officers in the airports in the US have the authority to stop students and ask them to show an I-20. They look for the signature of the International Office advisor in the last page of your I-20. That signature is essentially there to prove to the DHS that the advisor approves your travel, and to prove that you in fact attend that community college. But, the immigration officer then may deny you entry because your visa is not for the community college. I did not make up these things. This is what the advisor told my friend.

I did not say this to scare anyone. And, I have not experienced this myself. I was only relaying the information that I learned from my friend in Maryland who had to face the same choices. I was only trying to help.
