when do i need to contact my employer regarding day 1 cpt intention? is it before applying to day 1 cpt schools or after getting admission? Do i need any forms signed from the employer before accepting day 1 cpt admission?
Nothing needs to be signed by your employer when you're accepting the admission. But, when you apply for the CPT, most of the school will require your employer to sign some sort of a CPT agreement. The sooner you explain CPT to your HR or manager, the better
Can the new school help in the process of the SEVIS transfer, for instance I just got an admission, and I have been issued SEViS, and I am in the process of Day 1 CPT, can the new school help in the transfer of my SEVIS number and record?
Yes the new school definitely come in crucially, however it cannot do anything if your old school's not releasing your SEVIS. It's until the SEVIS release after you submit the transfer out form, your new school can finally transfer in SEVIS - process and issue I-20 - Process CPT - You start day 1cpt
So, my STEM OPT will end on 29AUG24. My program starts on 19AUG24. Can I choose to request my SEVIS transfer to my new school on 16AUG24 (Friday) which then I would start working on the next week Monday when my class starts?
Technically yes, realistically not likely, the school can only process your CPT I-20 after receiving your SEVIS. if they have your SEVIS by Friday, they need couple days to 1-2 weeks to process, depending on the school and its volume.
Opt ended on 18th June. Left country on 19th June. F1 visa valid till August 2026. Want to start day 1 CPT college starting October 19th. Will my old SEVIS be continued or needs a new SEVIS because of the gap?
Once OPT completed, you have 60 days of grace period to stay in the US while the previous school still holds your active SEVIS. However, when you leave the US during the grace period, your school might terminate your SEVIS. The best action for now is to reach out to the international department to ask if you still have an active SEVIS with them and you want to transfer out. You do have to secure an admission for SEVIS transfer though, as the first step mentioned in the video.
