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
I read on some forums that you can see your OPT employment end date get extended to 09/30 if your OPT ends before that. This indicates cap gap due to selection in lottery. Apparently that has been happening on the SEVP portal for quite a few people already. Did the OPT end date change on the portal for any of you guys?
Mine did not change. Yeah i heard so too. The question is whether no change == no h1b?
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.
@here I don't see registration link on sevp portal.
U should have got an email from DSO.
Thanks.. I see no change on my portal.. question for ppl who have seen change in date.. what was end date prior to change? In my case end date is 2019 march.. will there be any change on my portal if I get selected?
In your case it won’t change. It only changes to those whose OPT end date was prior to 9/30
Looks like i am fucked, i don't see any date changed on sevp. My opt ends on July 15. So long Murica😐
It’s not possible
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.
It’s brand new, so nobody knows. Because petitions belong to the sponsoring employer, USCIS can be frustratingly non-transparent to the beneficiaries.
