A:
Based on the information you provided, it seems that there was an oversight in the transfer of your SEVIS record from your bachelor's degree school to your current school, which has led to complications in transferring your SEVIS record to the new school you want to attend. This situation can be complex, and the outcome of your visa reapplication and I-20 issuance may depend on several factors.
Here are a few points to consider:
1. You should work with your current school's international student office to ensure that your SEVIS record is properly transferred from your bachelor's degree school. They should be able to guide you through the process and help you resolve any issues.
2. When you travel and reenter the United States, you will need to present a valid I-20 from the school you intend to attend, along with other required documents such as a valid passport, F-1 visa, and proof of financial support.
3. The success of your visa reapplication depends on various factors, including your previous compliance with F-1 regulations, the completeness and accuracy of your application, and the discretion of the consular officer reviewing your case.
4. It's essential to be transparent about your situation and provide all necessary documentation to demonstrate your eligibility for the F-1 status and your intention to study at the new school.
Given the complexity of your situation, it is highly recommended that you work closely with the international student offices at both your current school and the school you plan to attend. They can provide you with the most accurate and up-to-date guidance based on your specific circumstances. Additionally, if your case is particularly complex, you may want to consider seeking the advice of an experienced immigration attorney who specializes in F-1 student matters.
