Change of status from b1/b2 to F1 approves after I-94 expires?

[jan2079]

hi
I came to US on visiting visa (b2) and applied to an unversity here and got I-20 for the fall semester(starting sept 28'09).
I have filed for the Change Of Status from B1/B2 to F1 , receipt received from USCIS.
what if the Change Of Status from B1/B2 to F1 gets approved after i-94 expires and the registration for the this semester ends?
Can I stay in US and wait till the next semester since i will be on F1 status ? anyone pls clarify...
Thank you.

Talk to the ISO about the last date for registration. In general, you have to time it appropriately so that you can get the F1 before the semester begins. If not, it is risky.

You could possibly stay until the next semester but the school has to defer your admission and you go back and return with a visa stamp 30 days before the school starts is when you will be allowed back into the country.
