After graduating for how many days/months may I stay in US on f1 visa? if my i20 also expires immediately after my grad date and i do not have college credits left, is there a mechanism to postpone my i20 expiry without having a job offer at hand...Thanks for your service. highly appreciate that

There is 60 day Grace Period but in your case since your I20 is expiring, we don't think you will get 60 days period. Please check with your DSO as well. Also, here is a link that explains in more detail http://www.buffalostate.edu/isa/x575.xml

Just apply and get your opt... In process you'll get a new i20 and a way to maintain your status
