Thank you for your replies. I never thought that it would be so difficult to get few information regarding immigration.........on a simple issue like mine. Some say I need to join college (just is case), some say I dont, some say I have only two months left as a f1 student after I graduate..............but finally I get my answer after going through USCIS website...................
(ii) Change in educational levels : An F-1 student who continues from one educational level to another is considered to be maintaining status, provided that the transition to the new educational level is accomplished according to transfer procedures outlined in paragraph (f)(8) of this section.
(F)(8):
A student who is maintaining status may transfer to another Service approved school by following the notification procedure prescribed in paragraph (f)(8)(ii) of this section. However, an F-1 student is not permitted to remain in the United States when transferring between schools or programs unless the student will begin classes at the transfer school or program within 5 months of transferring out of the current school or within 5 months of the program completion date on his or her current Form I-20, which ever is earlier......
This information might help others like me..................
