… I would like to continue to maintain my F-1 status. Can I go back to school to do it?

Answer

Once your H1B petition is withdrawn, you have 10 additional days of employment authorization and 60 days of grace period. As long as you complete your transfer to a different program of study or school by the expiration of your grace period, you should be able to maintain valid F-1 status. (15.Aug.2014)
