Confusion about COS. Urgent!!!

[rvw]

Hi
My I94 and 1797 from previous employer expired on 31st march. New company filed for H1 transfer on 30th march.
New company got RFE on my H1 transfer. In the meanwhile, I got an I20 for MBA porgram.
I am not interested in answering the RFE and want to go to school.
Is it possible to file a change of status to F1. I have gotten two opinions from two different lawyers.
One says its not possible while the other says that COS is possible.
I want a third opinion. The lawyer who said its not possible says that after my I94 expired on 31st march, I dont have a status, i am on the bridging status till H1 is approved and therefore without a current status I cant file for COS. Is this true? I dont know which opinion to trust here.
Really appreciate your help..Thanks

Search and read about bridging on the forum. You are currently *not* in status if the bridging petition gets denied. So, a COS is not possible.

You have to leave and apply for an F1 visa and enter using that visa.
