I am in the US currently working on L1 visa. I have received an admit for a full time MBA program from a University. I am planning to visit India and get my F1 stamping done by mid-June 2017.
The course does not commence until 21-Aug-17. My I20 has an effective date of 22-Jul-17. Will my L1 visa continue to hold good after my F1 visa is stamped but until my F1 triggers in or will the USCIS invalidate it upon the F1 stamping? I am planning to return to US after my F1 is stamped on my L1 (provided it is not invalidated upon the F1 stamping), continue working until 22-Jul-17, then travel to Canada/Mexico and re-enter on F1, if this is at all possible.
Please advise.
