Hi Pjiang.
first, thank you for your time
今天问了ISO的老师，他说如果我８月１５号退学就了，I will be out of status, 因为那个cap-gap regulation just applies to student with OPT, I am quiting school, so I don't have OPT and don't grace period。说我必须出境签。搞的自己都糊涂了。您能再给我确认一下吗？
谢谢
this is my original question and you answer:
F1转H1， 没有OPT，(退学). F1身份８月中结束，那从８月15,到１０月１号之间这段可以留在美国吗？
问了很多人,给了不同的答案.
Yes, if 1) your I-129 is pending, or 2) your H-1b approval came with I-94
