I am an international student who initially enrolled for one semester at a US university. Following this, I transferred to another US university and returned to my home country during the summer of 2023. Upon my return to the US, I entered through Atlanta, where I was issued a new I-94. Subsequently, I attended the international student orientation at my new university for one week. On the final day of the orientation, my Designated School Official (DSO) informed me that the same I-94 number had been issued to two individuals during my port of entry. Consequently, it is not possible to transfer my I-20, and I was advised to return to my previous university for the current semester due to time constraints. Classes had already commenced at the old university, and I have only five days before falling out of status. This situation is further complicated by the fact that I had declined housing arrangements at my previous university and made financial arrangements at the new institution. At this juncture, I am seeking guidance on the best course of action. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
