Is anyone aware if F1 transfer to a different school is possible after cap gap extension ends on Sep 30?

Do you have a valid F-1? Did your h-1 get approved ? AFAIK, Cap gap only comes in play when h-1 is approved and your opt term is expired. Your F-1 is valid unless your h-1b is approved. So transfer of school is pretty much possible unless you’re F-1 is expired. I only got an F-1 for 2 years

Thanks. Cap gap is provided when H1 petition is received by USCIS. Got some inputs from school. So I got cap gap after my OPT was completed. My H1B is still pending. Though I will have 60 days grace period to stay here, it seems that SEVIS is completed on the last day of cap gap. So to transfer after that one will have to reinstate F1 which USCIS doesn’t do much nowadays. So to start school, you’ll have to leave country and come back with new F1 after Sep30
