Hi,Recently USCIS sent an invitation email to OPT students to signup for their SEVP portal (https://sevp.ice.gov/opt/#/login). Any of you know whether the status gets changed in this portal if H1B petition picked up in the lottery? I suppose this portal is same as the one DSO use to update student records.

What status? I see nothing here. Seems like just a portal to update your address, employer, etc

  @XoQA40: So you had a new I-20 printed out and it didn’t have the new end date of 09/30? How is that possible? The end date in the SEVP portal should be the same as in SEVIS, so i would expect 09/30 to show up on the new I-20. How do you explain why the end date changed to 09/30 on the portal then?

  According to this the only phase when the cap gap is set to Sept 30th is when USCIS update the h1b status to pending ... It's clearly documented in a table in the above dhs doc expanding about cap gap periods.
  
  So with all this I am confused :(

  @naruro1546, yes, and pending H1b status means that the petition was selected in the lottery. So I’m pretty sure updated end date to 09/30 on SEVP portal means petition was selected in lottery. That’s also the consensus on various forums I’ve seen. So congrats on being selected!

  Here is what I see. This was updated on 16th. My new I20 was generated on 17th. I am yet to receive the physical copy of the new I20. But my DSO confirmed that it is not a cap gap I20.

  Did I understand this correctly? Your stem OPT ends after 30 Sep, hence no cap-gap extension needed, and therefore no change on the student SEVP portal.
  
  In that case, fair enough.

  Yes you are correct

  Can you please check if there was any update from “sevis” in the “history” section of the SEVP portal? I am seeing this. So want to check if this is an indication of selection of h1b.

So this extension of dates is a hint that our petition is picked in lottery right ?

  In your case it won’t change. It only changes to those whose OPT end date was prior to 9/30

My SEVP Portal updated today to 09/30. So ppl should wait and expect the change over sometime. But still not sure if this update means h1b lottery got picked.

  Yes I did ( haven’t sent docs to USCIS yet) , my DSO updated it from his end , which says Future STEM and has end date in 2020. After two days of my university issuing me STEM OPT I-20, I saw my initial OPT date got moved to September 30,2018.

  So if I understood correctly, you have two different opts showing up on sevp portal (oje active and the other one is in future). But the date of the active one got pushed to 30th September?

My end date of Initial OPT authorization changed to September 30, I also read the notes on sevp portal about the effects of H1b change of status petition on f1 opt folks which is quite clear , wanna know how long it takes to hear from attorney?

It’s brand new, so nobody knows.

Because petitions belong to the sponsoring employer, USCIS can be frustratingly non-transparent to the beneficiaries.

  At times there might be issues with Sevis ... So check with ur DSO and see if the entry is updated to Sept 30th or else ask him/her to raise a datafix ticket with Sevis.

  I have the same case. Does the USCIS case status website show anything for you when you enter the receipt number?

  USCIS website shows that you petition has been received on April 12 and receipt notice mailed, should contact then if you don't receive receipt notice by May 12th.

  Wait until you know for sure. However, you’d be good to prepare. Travel the places you want to travel, and start selling anything you don’t need on eBay (rather than just giving it all away before you leave).

  @soapywater Don't be disheartened yet. I saw my end date change to 09/30 today. Not sure if that means a lottery pick like the thread says; but one can be hopeful.

Hi, thank you for all the updates. My OPT ends on 7/21 & my SEVIS portal doesn't show any change in dates. Does that mean I have not been picked or should I still waiting?

  “Keep waiting” is also what Democrats will (indirectly) tell you while you wait for a green card lol.

I got a receipt from lawyer, but sevp portal didn’t got updated because my stem opt expires in 2019. Date only changes for cap gap.

But if one is already on stem opt with validity more than 30th September , then I don’t think there would be any updates in the portal.

  Yeah. It’s super unclear.
