Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

F1 Visa

My current I-20 was cancelled by my school since I had been out of status last semester. I have been reinstated in the school for the Fall Semester. My advisor said I need to go back to my home country with my NEW I-20 so as to get it stamped and it can be in SEVIS records.

1. Is it necessary to go back to the home country or can I go to any country for this purpose?

2. I have a valid student visa(not expired). Since I am in the same school do I need to get a new F1 Visa? OR will it suffice once my records have been entered into SEVIS
