    Possibility re-entry US if you changed your B1/B2 visa to F1 in us
    I'm going to my home country to visit my parents for a month, I got my F1 visa changed in US from B1/B2 visa. Will it be an issue or complication when re-entering US?

    Thanks

    When you changed your status from B-1/B-2 to F-1 while you're in US, you can stay as long ad d/s is valid but if you leave US, you must bring a valid I-20, and apply for F-1 at US embassy in your home country or immigration won't let you in.
