救命！没有按时去领SEVIS form I-20！!（续）

***************************************重新再发一遍原贴：
去年学校发了group E-mail 让所有的国际学生去领新的-20，也没在意，以为我不去领也在国际学生办公室那里了，后来就给忘了。前几天有事去国际学生办公室，他们查不到我的纪录，问我是不是毕业了，我说我还是全职的学生。 我接着想起来I-20问题，提示他们是不是与我没有领有关。它们还是以为我的文件丢了。下星期又去问才知道我的被放到inactive 里面去了，因为我没有按时领I-20 。 接着又和一个领导谈了一下，他说从来没有遇到这种问题，他们去年发了thousands of E-mail， 而且他们的网页上也有说明，不过在我的记忆中只有一封，而且是group E-mail 。如果他们系统是没有我的名字的话，我应该不能每学期注课的呀,不知道怎么回事。后来等到大头回来后，说我要reinstatement 我的F-1 status，需要填申请表，给移民局写一封信解释一下原因，交195刀。现在是喜忧参半，喜的事本来以为自己身份黑了，有可能要被驱逐出境了。忧的事以后不知如何解释这段gap， 对以后是不是有不良影响。哪位给指点一下我该怎么办？他们认为全是我的责任，我觉得不全是，不过也没什么用处了，只想这件事的后果越小越好。谢谢了！********************************

在网上google了一下，发现reinstatement必须在violation 的5个月之内提交申请，我早已超过5个月了。而且现在学校在我的申请批准之前也不能给我付工资了。那我现在还能工作吗？我查了reinstatement requirements：
The USCIS director may reinstate the student to lawful F-1 status, if he or she:

Establishes to the satisfaction of the USCIS director that the violation of status resulted from circumstances beyond the student's control or that failure to receive reinstatement to lawful F-1 status would result in extreme hardship to the student;

is currently pursuing, or intending to pursue, a full course of study at the school that issued the Form I-20;

has not engaged in unauthorized employment; and

is not deportable on any ground other than section 241(a) (1) (B) or (c) (i) of the Act {overstaying or failing to maintain status}. {8 CFR 214.2(f) (16) (i)}

那我violation后一直在学校作TA，是engaged in unauthorized employment 吗？

我需要restatement如果out of F-1 status, 又查了一下maintain F-1 status 的要求:

Attend the school you are authorized to attend on your I-20. You must follow both USCIS and university transfer procedures to attend a new school.

Leave the United States by the anticipated completion date on your I-20. If you must remain in the U.S. past your I-20 completion date, follow extension procedures with the International Student Services Office.

Receive a new I-20 when transferring from one level to another or from one degree to another at the same university.

Have a valid, un-expired passport.

Refrain from unauthorized employment.

Notify the USCIS and the Office of the Registrar of any change in residence or mailing address within 10 days of the change.

Maintain a full-course of study

我没有领新的I-20违反了哪一条？很困惑.

以下是学校给我的E-mail:

You can be paid until your current I -20 expires (08/16/2004).
After that you cannot be paid until the reinstatement is granted. If it
is denied your only option then, would be to travel home and apply for a
new F-1 entry visa and return to complete your degree. As you know, I
am certainly hoping the reinstatement is granted.

现在可以去墨西哥或加拿大签证吗？大家都是从一种visa 换到另一种visa， 我算什么呢？现在危险吗？Reinstatement据学校的人说要等几个月, 而且可能被拒。到现在也知道不Reinstatement通过的可能性大不大。我超过期限是不是一定被拒。那还不如现在去第三国签证了。

我该怎么办？？有了解的的大侠请回复。
谢谢诸位！！
