I am an international student holding f1 status. I am currently taking a break this spring semester i.e February 16 until May 24. I have been accepted for transfer to another university which starts on September 26. Will I be out of status if I cannot attend classes between May 24 and September 26? I am aware that a student is no longer in student status if classes are not resumed within five months of the date of transferring out of the previous school. But, in my case will this 5 months rule start from the date I took the break or the date of transferring out?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
