Casey and I came down to the only possibility and that is applying for F1 visa, although visa specialist has told us that there is a risk that they will find out that I married and then I don't really have chance to come back.
Well, we called Weimar in the beginning of last week, and as soon as I knew I could keep my job I faxed all the needed documents. And lo and behold. Weimar "forgot" to change my status when I went on OPT, but they did not forget to let them know that I graduated. So they deleted me out of the system. Normally the I-20 takes about 15 minutes to prepare, but we did not hear from Weimar, and then they said that they were extremely busy (with the 4 students that actually attend the school). On Thu they looked into it and they realized that they have problems with SEVIS (they give out I-20s), and they said that it will be taken care of on Monday. Well, today registrar emailed me and said that they still were not able to fix the problem.

What is really frustrating is that they should have kept me in status, especially if they were able to contact SEVIS that I have graduated, they should have changed it to practicum. So, we don't know at this point....
