Have you looked into reinstatement of status? What is the reason you're out of status? If you cannot regularize your status in the U.S., when you apply for re-entry to the U.S. you could be asked about your maintenance of status or it could simply be seen in the SEVIS record on the computer when you enter the country again. It is possible that in discretion, your entry could be denied for failure to previously maintain status. Be prepared for secondary inspection at least. If you need a new F-1 visa (if applicable), you will be asked on the application about failure to maintain status and you will have to explain this successfully.

This sort of case is the type that could most surely benefit by the assistance of good counsel. Let me know if you would like more information or representation, I would be happy to assist. Visit me at http://www.yardum-hunter.com, write to me at [email protected] or call me at 818 609 1953.
