I came to the U.S. a few months ago and my SEVIS was terminated some time after I arrivde. The expiration date on my I-94 is D/S. I decided to enroll at another university in the fall, and the DSO told me I need a new SEVIS and I-20 to enter the country as initial entry. I never did unauthorized work and was never contacted by anyone.

Can I still use my old visa stamp that expires in four years to reenter the US with the new SEVIS and I-20? I've been reading a lot of documents but I feel confused. Do I need to apply for a new visa?

If I apply for a new visa, under the question "Have you ever been unlawfully present, overstayed the amount of time granted by an immigration official or otherwise violated the terms of a U.S. visa? " should I fill out yes or no? I read somewhere that until you are judged by an IJ to be unlawfully present, you are not in a violation of status / overstay / unlawfully present. Which one(s) of these are true?

I think you should be able to use the old visa with the new sevis and I-20, but I'm not 100% sure.
