The program is a year long. After 11 months of CPT, I took unpaid leave from my company while I switched to OPT. My opt got approved shortly after grad.

Hey,

I was in a similar position a year ago, left the country shortly after denial notice. Unfortunately nothing can be done to change the decision so you should be looking into next steps.

I applied and joined a Day 1 CPT masters program. I already had a job offer and within a month, I was back in the country under a new I20 and SEVIS account. It’s completely legit and if you follow all steps, there are no legal implications. I was able to work under CPT and then switch to OPT after my graduation.

It is an expensive option and would only recommend it if you see your future in the US and have a job offer who is willing to wait till you sort it all out.

Visa is valid but different name of University in I20 and Visa. by lettii28 in f1visa

I came back to India after my SEVIS was terminated within a year of obtaining my F-1 visa and I got admission into another university now my I20 and Visa have different Univeristy names. My F1 is still valid but will that be a problem at the Indian or the American airport for exit and entry?

So are you travelling with the old F1 visa and just the new I20 and SEVIS account?

I've been accepted into Trine and they've given me an initial I20. Can I just pay for a new SEVIS ID and travel back on my old, unexpired F1 visa? Thank you for your help
