Do I need to re-enter US if enrolling as New Student?

07-08-2013, 04:01 AM

My OPT extension got rejected. I will need a CPT from August. If I have to activate my new I20 from GBC or any other school will I have to leave USA and come back because I am not transferring but enrolling as a new student?

If you are continuing on same SEVIS, you don't need to re-enter. It;s better to have opinion from DSO too.

Why was it rejected? Did they give you any reason or do you have any idea?

I don't think you should reenter even though your sevis was changed. Still its best to talk DSO.
