I came here as a turist and them chaged my status from B2 to F1.
INow I want to leave the conutry but some of my friends aware me about the posibility that if I leave the contry maybe I will not be allow to enter again by the inmigartion officers because they could think that I want to do the same.
I have in my passaport the tourist visa which is going to expire the next year . Also I had a F1 visa in my passport in 1999 and I have been here for 4 times as a turist (counting the last time when I change my status).
So I don't know if anyone knows if in the future I could have problems re-enetering to USA.

Sorry for my English mistakes

To re-enter the US as an F-1, you need the F-1 visa. Apply at your home consulate with your SEVIS I-20, evidence of financials and that you have always maintained your status in the US.
