If I understand your question correctly you are a Continuing Education student in your country coming to the US with an I-20 from a Continuing Education (CE)school.

It is quite possible to transfer from a CE school to a regular college or university. The admission process may take some time, so you should find a college you want to transfer to as soon as possible. I believe you will still have to attend your CE school for at least one semester.

Continuing Education credits are usually not accepted by colleges. You can transfer the credits only if you attended a college or a university in your home country. In that case how many credits will be accepted depends on the school you will go to and the program you choose.
