hi friends,
 i bought the air ticket to go home finally after 4 years but the problem is that i lost my very initial I -20 that has immigration stamp on. i would like to know if there would be any problem when returning back if i just produce a new I-20 recently issued by my school. And please also tell me what other documents i need to carry. my many many thanks in advance.

when i went to nepal they didnt check my old I 20. i had transfered college but i carried the old one too just in case. the officer checked my new I 20 and stamped. so dont worry. the other documents would be passport. well those are the only mandatory documents. i advise you to get a travel letter from your international advisor.

have fun

don't worry.. it won't really matter.. they will take out your I-94 form from your passport telling that you left US.. and when you come back.. they will stamp your new I-20 issued recently by your college just like before but with the new date on it.. and they will issue you the new I-94 card on your passport..

have fun.. don't worry happy Vijaya dashami..

thanks kaji and walkahead, my appreciation to you. happy dashain to you and your family.
