why dont you go home ahead and have the school mail you the new Form I-20 when you need to go back to the US. time is of the essence here. go home if you must.Comment

Thanks Bea but unfortunatly the college has not been given a time notification and their other campus has been waiting for almost a year!!!!! I am also still studying & have summer classes & seminars to attend so cannot leave yet. Plus the foriegn advisor is unable to produce any papers until the school is official which is anyone's guess. thanks anyway.Comment

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do. I understand the situation but you must weight the pro and con. If you go you will lose your change to finish your career and changing to an H1B visa and perhaps stay permanently with a labor certification. You need to think about your future. Good luck!Comment
