(1) General. Expiration, revocation, or violation of status puts a nonimmigrant out of status, and the alien remains out of status until some adjudication restores status or the alien departs the United States.
“身份違例”不就是“OOS”嗎？OOS不向USCIS要個身份，OOS就保留至當前。怎樣理解您的“身份違例”同時還不“當前身份失效”？ - Your understanding is correct that OOS could not be cured by itself, but by either USCIS or departure. To simplify the examples, details were omitted in my blog. To make them perfect, H-1B should have an extension approved after OOS, and F-1 should have status reinstated as well. BTW, most people may have not read the USCIS document to the extent as you did. Good.
