Reinstatement request of F-1 visa granted vs. denied

If United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) approves your reinstatement request, the adjudicating officer will endorse your I-20 to indicate that you have been reinstated and will return the I-20 to you. 

If USCIS does not approve the reinstatement request, you may not appeal the decision and need to prepare to leave the US immediately.
