Urgent F1 help needed!!!

[asurani]

I applied for a COS from H4 to F1 in Oct 2008 requesting a start date of 02/02/2009 on my I-20, which was the 1st day of my classes. My COS was approved on 02/20/2009 with a start date of 02/19/2009. Initially, I was registered for 2 courses from 02/02/2009 – 02/18/2009 but as soon as I got the approval I added an extra course and now I am enrolled in 3 courses. My questions are


1. Is there any change needed on the I-20?

2. Should I ask my DSO to generate a new I-20 with a start date of 02/19/2009.

3. Will I be considered an F1 student for the Fall 2009 semester?

So you registered as an H4 and later changed your status to F1 beginning Feb 19th. I think you should go talk with your International office to make sure everything is okay as far as the SEVIS goes..

If you are undergrad, you should at least be taking 12 hours.

Of course, you will be in F1 status in Fall 2009 if you maintain it (i.e. no travel and re-enetring on H4).
