你好，USCIS 3月1日收到了我H1B转F1的申请，effective date是3月25日。学校i20的开始日期是4月2日。我已于上周（3月下旬）离职H1B的工作岗位。 如果4月2日case仍然在pending(非常大的可能）,我是否要到学校的international office拿一份新的i20（deferred到下一个quarter),将复印件和case receipt的复印件合并寄到USCIS作为补充材料? （学校已经同意如果COS没有结果，会deferred我的注册）.
我在网上看到的有的学校(不是我申请的学校）要求（must）学生必须寄新的I20给USCIS作为补充材料。请问有没有律师知道这是必须的么? 如果递交，会不会再次延迟我case的处理日期。十分感谢。

Applications Pending After the Start of the Quarter: New I-20 Required (for change of status to F-1)
If your Change of Status to F-1 application is still pending after the program start date printed on your I-20, ISS must issue you a new I-20 with a deferred program start date. The I-20 information corresponds to your electronic F-1 SEVIS record. When an F-1 SEVIS record is first created, the electronic record is in “initial” status. The SEVIS database is designed so that an electronic F-1 record will automatically terminate if the record is not “activated” or “deferred” by a certain deadline within the quarter. ISS cannot “activate” the F-1 SEVIS record until USCIS approves your F-1 status application.
Consequently, ISS must “defer” the F-1 SEVIS record program start date to the next available quarter in order to preserve the “initial” electronic F-1 SEVIS record and not jeopardize the pending change of status application. ISS will issue a new I-20 with the deferred program start date; you must submit the new I-20 to USCIS with a copy of your USCIS receipt notice
