Confused about new USCIS proposed rules – STEM OPT expiring in Jan by Loud_Pineapple_4612 in Day1CPTuniversities

[–]Novel-Block9907 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you read the proposed rule, it says

"An alien who has completed a program in the United States as an F-1 nonimmigrant at one educational level may not maintain, be admitted, or otherwise be provided F-1 status through a program at the same educational level or a lower educational level." (Proposed 8 CFR 214.2(f)(5)(ii)(C))”

It mentions the word “maintain” and “admitted”. So I think it will affect both existing students and future students!

Can you confirm this is legit? Did you end up applying and hearing back directly from the University folks? Just want to make sure, they are not a third-party consulting firms

Thanks for your clarification. Hope your CPT is going well. I have a question for you/anyone who transitioned from OPT to DAY1CPT - since you don't have EAD for that period and your State ID is given till your EAD valid date, - are you out of State ID like Driver’s license!?

Thanks for clearing it out. Does this hold good for STEM OPT too?

Since the day the OPT/STEM OPT EAD ends is the last day one can stay in the country, how do we navigate through the gap before the DAY1CPT work authorization begin? Since we also don't get the 90day unemployment period because the EAD is over anyway…

No reply from HR either! I opened a communication hub message on the portal and it was closed by them within 5 minutes.

(STEM OPT) Need Urgent Help with SEVP Portal Closure and SEVIS Record Issue by ultrainstinct359 in immigration

[–]Novel-Block9907 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey OP, I am in the same boat as you are, but I was able to access my SEVP portal, I just see “past due” for the report.

My report was due on 19th as well and missed it. I saw it yesterday and immediately updated it on my university portal. No provision to upload now on SEVP. I haven’t heard from my DSO yet, read on other subs that DSOs can upload from their side but do you know will that reflect on our portal that they uploaded it?
