加大米！求问离开美国超过五个月，但是F1签证2021年才到期，需要重新申请F1吗？

Update
打了电话问学校的ISS，SEVIS number是一毕业就终止了，需要申请新的I20，sevis number会改变；发邮件问了CBP，CBP回复不需要办理新的F1签证，我发去的邮件和CBP的回复如下，
Dear CBP Officer,

I am an international student who has finished my first master degree already in the States in December, 2018 and then I left the US in early February without applying for OPT. My second master program will begin in August, 2019 and I want to ensure whether I am supposed to apply for a new F1 visa or not?

My current F1 visa is still valid and it will expire in year 2021 but I did not transfer my old SEVIS number to my new school since I have not decided which school to attend at that time. I have been told that my old SEVIS number has been terminated once I have graduated from my first school and I need to apply for a new I20 as well as a new SEVIS number. For this case, should I apply for a new F1 visa with my new SEVIS number or can I re-entry the US with my current F1 visa and my new I20?

Last question, the sensitive electronics contained in my current passport has been damaged and the Chinese CBP officer has suggested me re-applying for a new passport. If I apply for a new passport, the new passport number will be different from the passport number on my current F1 visa, will it have influence on my re-entry to the US later?

Thanks so much for your time and reply.

CBP回复：
Thank you for contacting the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Information Center.

You may travel to the U.S. with your same valid F-1 visa along with your new I-20. If you obtain a new passport, you may travel with both the older passport with the valid visa inside along with the new valid passport as long as they both display the same country of citizenship.

Please reply to this email if you have other questions.

Thank you again for contacting our office.

所以意思是可以拿着写着旧SEVIS number的不过期的F1，拿着写着新SEVIS number 的新的i20，直接入境？

请问lz中间换了学校吗？

借楼问一下，和楼主情况类似，去年去UCSD交换了一个quarter，F1是五年签。也是需要重新签的是吗？

我是之前暑期学校，和楼主差不多，旧签证没过期，I20过期，旧学校说record 已经终结，不能transfer。我把情况与新学校说了后，新学校说决定是否能入境的是海关，所以可能海关会问我为什么旧签证的学校不是现在的学校等问题。为了保险期间，我又重新申请了新的签证。

lz最后为什么还是去签了呀

真的很谢谢楼主！查这个答案查了很久了，现在我直接开车去墨西哥兜个风回来重新激活I-20了

我觉得可以入境的， 楼主不知道结果如何？ 有了结果 update 一下，谢谢
