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.

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 :(
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.
In that case, fair enough.

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