1. Jan 6th --->OPT expires

2. March 6th--->2 months Grace Period ends

3. June 1st---->Grad Program starts

4. Gap months = March 7th to May 30th =3 months

Now.....

1. If possible get the I-20 from grad college before Jan 6th for June Start class otherwise before March 6th. If you do this then you will continue your status of F1. No need to do anything.

2. If option 1 is not possible then get I-20 from Kaplan before March 6th. Kaplan provides lots of courses but it issue I 20 only for some specific courses only. Different Center has different course offer. Some center will have 4 months course so they will issue 4 months I 20 but some will have only 2 months courses so will issue 2 months I 20 (which is extendable).
