Here is a message I got from MIT:

发信人: tjlhl (forevergreen), 信区: Overseas
标　题: F2-->F1 被耽误后的新问题
发信站: The unknown SPACE (Tue Jul 15 11:01:27 2003) WWW-POST

申请的是春季入学，但等我拿到F1（F2-->F1)时已经3月份,无赖之下只有要求系里推迟到
秋季入学。今天OIA说可能要重新申请F1。真不知道该怎么办？有没有同样遭遇的？希望
大虾们给指点指点。


I am kinda confused wtih this message, but very concerned about it, for the approval on my application is very likely to be delayed after the enrollment day.  So I very want to know if there is anything said about duration of your approved F-1 status. Any xdjm just got approved or knows sth about it, please give me an answer. Great thanks!

我的I-20和approve notice上面都写了f1 status valid from 批准之日----d/s。d/s就是毕业的时间吧。然后毕业前再申请opt。
