根據uscis 4/18的press:
"USCIS has determined that it will allow petitioners of F-1 students whose H-1B
petitions were randomly selected to receive an H-1B visa number for FY2009
following the closure of the filing period, to now request a change of status
on behalf of qualified beneficiaries, if such requests are received within 30
days of the issuance of the receipt notice.
To request a change of status in lieu of consular notification, petitioners
(or authorized representatives) should send an e-mail with the request to the
USCIS service center where their petition is pending within 30 days of the
issuance of the receipt notice. Special email addresses for each service
center have been established specifically for this purpose. These addresses
are listed below and are posted on USCIS’ website. Petitioners should
e-mail their requests for change of status in lieu of
consular notification upon receipt of the notice so the agency has the request
before completing H-1B petition adjudication. The requests should include
the receipt number and both the petitioner’s and beneficiary’s name, date
of birth, I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record) number, and Student and Exchange
Visitor Information System (SEVIS) number. Please do not contact the
service center about requesting a change of status until after receiving
the receipt notice."
這裡不就是指 已經有了notice 要在30天內 寄email給service center 並提供姓名
notice number, sevis number等資訊嗎？ 我以為這是必須要做的

: 感謝duer大提供的連結
: 有關DSO處理OPT/cap gap extension的guideline已在4/25/2008出爐
: 重po一次:
: http://www.ice.gov/doclib/sevis/pdf/opt_policy_guidance_pdf.pdf
: 需要OPT/cap gap extension的人，必讀此篇
: 它也有更詳細地說明失業的登記方式: 學校(DSO)有責任紀錄每個學生的就職始末
: USCIS因此有能力依據SEVIS的紀錄來判斷學生的身份是否失效
: 至於DSO對於追縱SEVIS紀錄的認真程度及操作的熟悉度，則無法判斷
: 剛開始必然會有些亂象; 但可確定的是，失業90天會造成身份失效絕對是「玩真的」
: 比較有趣的是，就職包括self-employed及contractor，但都需要證據，
: 也都有一定的追縱難度; unpaid intern也行，但不能違反勞工法 (很容易違反)
: 換工作期間可以有10天的緩衝，不計入90天
: 若有抽到H1, cap gap extension是自動生效至9/30/2008; 學生不必做任何事，
: 並可以「選擇性」的要求學校印出新的I-20當做證據，但不做這件事也行。
: 但學生有責任確定H1的申請有成功地連結到他的SEVIS系統 (連絡學校DSO)
: 如果沒有正確連上，身份會失效 (但有補救空間) 所以學生最好有警覺性, 多連絡學校
: 還有，90天失業期限的計算以及OPT 17-month extension申請，都是04/08/2008生效
: 不溯及既往
: cap gap extension的效期也比想像中複雜:
: 所有H1申請者的OPT一律至少延至6/2/2008, grace period 8/2/2008 (包含沒抽中者)
: 被抽到H1候補者OPT延至07/28/2008, grace 09/27/2008
: 有抽到H1者OPT延至09/30/2008
: 自願撤回或H1被拒者，OPT有10天緩衝, F1 grace period 60天
: 總之，就算沒抽到，也可工作至6/2/2008
: 4/1/2008之前OPT就過期的人沒有資格延長工作，但可合法等待H1的生效
