Do you know when your I-20 is expiring? Does it reflect the reality? If not, don't allow it to expire if you need more time. If you will not complete your academic program by that date, then you will need an extension. If it is your case, request an I-20 Extension on your OISS Student Portal and upload financial documentation that shows your ability to pay for tuition and living expenses for the extended time
