Hello, I am in a similar situation:

I was working on H1 since Oct 2012 and lost my job in Nov 2012. I am back in India now as I did not want to stay in the US without any status. I took admission in a good university and received the I-20. I have already paid the SEVIS fee for the new I-20. My current F1 visa (from previous univ) is valid for 2 more yrs.

My question is: Can I re-enter the US on F1 without any problems , or will I need to go for F1 visa stamping again?

Please help. Thanks

Hi,

this is only As per my research work and expi.
In many case i have read that many PPL reached US on old Visa with New I20 from same University, but as per thumb rule if we have not inform our uni for restatement then they inform USCIS and cancel our OLD SAVIS. therefore I went for restemping the visa and aviod any odd situation at port of entry. We have good chance for re-stemp if we are clear in thought and well explain our requirement for being student again to VO. since you have old visa still valid they might cancel old one and provide new stamp. Talk to your OLD Uni DSO - they might help you out as well.

Hi! I am also in the same situation. I got approval last December 2012 but my employer cancelled my work and H1B got revoked last January 30. I plan to go to Canada. Do you think I should do another consular processing or is my old visa stamp still valid and can be used for re-entry?

I assume that you was in USA when your h1b got approved and if you are in USA and your employer has revoked the h1b. you may still have 30 days to transfer your h1b with some new company. on the time of h1b approval your student visa was voided so you may want to consider again back to go to school. I may wrong so take advice of some reputed company who may like to transfer your h1b.

ok…i have taken a new F1 visa and got it stamped from the embassy in India. The previous F1 visa was not valid. You should also do the same, go for consular processing or apply for COS (but i don’t think you have time for COS)
