Ok MrCool here is the situation: My OPT expires on May 15 and i will get two months grace period that means I will be on status until july 14. I hope my H1B will get approved before July 14 ( did regular processing and waiting for it). My H1B will be effective from October 1st, so I have about 2.5 months gap in between. Its too late to get I 20 for summer and i was thinking of getting I 20 for fall from some community college or Kaplan. that I 20 will be effective from august last and will keep me in status during summer as well. My intention is to quit school just after attending school for one month or so, that is, after october 1st. the I 20 that i sent to USCIS is of my previous school from where I graduated and now I will have new I 20. this new I 20 will give me F1 status and my H1B gives me H1 status from october 1st. so the confusion is, what will be my status after october 1st? also, my new I 20 will be approved after/before my H1B gets approved? does it matter in anyway? I appreciate your response if you know about this. Thanks.
