What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
Hello all,
I have a quick question:
I was in f1 status and left in May 2008 (I-20 valid till 2010), after my finals. I decided I did not want to go back to school and so I didn't go back to US.
In October of 2008 my school sent me an email asking me where I was. I didn't know I was supposed to give the International Students Office word that I left and was not returning. I told them I have left, and submitted my I-94 at the airport when I left while I was in status in May. They notified SEVIS and made a note in their system.
I completely didnt know I had to notify the office of international students but they have been notified as of Oct 2008. (I left in May, whilst in status) Please note I do not owe anything to the school as I paid in full till I left) Now end of this year - 2009, I am planning to return to US to continue my studies.
My question is, was what I did wrong? Will there be some kind of bar against me?
Key points:
1. I left while I was in status and have not returned since.
2. I notified School 5 months after I left (I didn't know I had to tell them)
3. They notified SEVIS and made a note in their system immediately
4. Planning for a return trip. Will immigration have something against me in their system?
Thank you for the input.
