Hi! I’m a F1 student visa and got my i20 terminated because I took a term withdrawal. I went to LA and on my way back to NYC, but I was told that my entry into NYC was recorded as my I-20 had already been terminated.

My DSO has now told me that I must leave the US as soon as possible because I was recorded as unlawful presence. However, they warned me that because I remained in the U.S. after my I-20 was terminated, I may have difficulty obtaining a new I-20 and could be denied reentry to the US.

Question:

Would the unlawful presence record affect renewing i20 and re-entering US?

Please help I really need advises for this, thanks a lot!
