How to count out of status days

[furiousng 2]

I am adjusting from F1 based on marriage to a USC. I was registered in school up till the end of Fall semester 2008 that ended on December 20 2008. I didnt register for the following semester since International student fees are on the high side and as I only had to work on my thesis, instead of paying fees, the money found use in paying for baby expenses. Since I was not registered in school, I didnt apply for AP as I had no plans of travelling cos of status issue. My question now is in case I need to travel and apply for AP, how will the out of status days be counted so I dont have problems to come back into the US? Counting from when my last registered semester ended on Dec 20th to receiving NOA 1 for my AOS is 80 days and counting from the start of this current semester to NOA 1 is 57 days. Thanks in advance for any advice..

Was your I-94 stamped D/S?

Only an immigration judge can determine if you were "out of status" of your F-1 visa.

Even so, the amount of time between when you stopped going to school and NOA of your AOS isn't enough to cause a ban on attemp of re-entry. (that starts at 180 days or more).

Which is why I always recommend to AOS as soon as you can, not before your "out of status", it will only cause issues down the line...
