Good morning
@Sm1smom
I was reading past experiences and I run into this conversation
1)
USER 1 SAY: Dear all
I've got a very very important question. I am currently on a valid F1 Visa but my current I20 will expire in July 2019. I did not know when my case number would get current and when my interview was going be so I extended my I20 for another year BEFORE filing anything. My new I20 was issued in February and I made a copy from each one and put both in my package and send it last week (my case number got current a month earlier compared to the previous years). Today I heard from a friend that extending I20 means I don't intend to stay in America and has contradiction with filing I-485 and so all such cases will be denied. Is is true??
They have not texted me so far I mean the package has not officially been accepted yet.

@Sm1smom answer: You did exactly the right thing. Extending your current status (and getting the approval) prior to filing is the right step to have taken. Tell your friend to stop talking and creating unnecessary fear over a process they do not understand.
Now comes my question
I am on F1 visa that will expire on my passport in July. My I 20 must be renewed every December. In the package I included all the I 20s except the one that I just renewed couple days ago, but I had the intention to bring it at the interview. Is this a problem?
