hi all, let me tell you first that my F1 visa is expiring on june 05, 06 and i can stay only till aug 05, 06. since i have applied for h1 on may 01, 06; i can't start working until oct, 06. so, there is a gap of 2 months ( aug and sep) before i can actually work on h1 visa. so, i am thinking to extend my F1 by getting I-20 from other small colleges that they provide block semesters of two months. is it possible for me to hold I-20 for Nov and do nothing? can i stay in US just holding the I-20 for Nov classes during aug and sep? help me out guys! i am in confusion because i am not sure whether you can hold I-20 and stay in US after the opt gets expired. my other option would be to take kaplan classes for 2 months. but i am trying to find out the best option that i can have least expense. thanks to all!
