Hello Sir/Madam

I was an International student and unfortunately I overstayed in US for more than my I-20 authorize date of stay.However, my Visa is currently valid and I left US before 180 days prior to deadline for any international student to be inside in US Illegaly.

Now, I got an I-20 from my same university and I intend to go back to US once again.

Please, advise me for my following questions:

1) Should I go to US Consulate for a new visa?
2) What can I expect at the port of entry?
3) Should I planwell before heading fro US?

Your forum is one of the best among others in Interent.I am also a member of your online forum.I really want your expert advise regarding this issue.

Regards,

Soumen

Your status does not depend on your I-20 date. It depends on your I-94, which is stamped D/S which means that for the duration of your status (as a student) you are allowed to stay.
