I20 validity

[anitk]

My I20 (start date Jan 2017)  was issued on Nov 7,2016. However, my COS application (H4 to F1) reached USCIS on Dec 29, 2016.  Since I dint get any decision(still pending) on my application by Jan , DSO had deferred the start and gave me new I20 with start date April, 2017. 

I just came to know through this forum post that any I20 submitted 30 days after it is issued is invalid.Is it true in my case? Is there a possibility of denial because of this or will I get RFE from USCIS for this?

Now that I have new I20, is there a way to send this new I20 to USCIS?

Appreciate ur inputs.

Thanks.

RFE and you can reply to that with correct I-20.
