Hi,

I read the "Pub of F1 opt Social Security taxes & medicare deduction ". But for my case is:

I have been USA for more than 5 years, but I hold F1 only for 2 years, J2 and H4 before.

No. Once you exceed five years, you become liable for Social Security and Medicare taxes, regardless of your visa status.
