More details to this question:
I am not attending classes for my school as i have my H1 approved from Oct 2012. But if school cancels my I 20 on 25th sept 2012, will it affect my H1 ?
There is technically no grace period. If you have applied to change status from F-1 to H-1, your application to change will be denied because you must be in status in order to change status. You would then have to leave and process your H1 visa at a US consulate. The most serious consequence of an overstay, a bar from returning to the US, does not kick in until you have overstayed by 180 days.
