I thought of applying for a change of status now and get the F1 visa stamping when i visit home country in December, 2009.
In this scenario my problem is, since my job ends on june 30 and I apply for transfer in the first week of July. I am worried about my status during the time the transfer application is pending and I am unemployed. Would you know if it will be a problem ?

Thank you for your time. Hel
