各位先進好,
我目前是 f1 身份,
先前已經提出 opt 申請, opt I-20 日期印 5/15 program end, opt start date 7/11
公司幾天前 h1b 申請也送出了 (有 premium process)
我的問題是: 我可以在 5/8 附近出境, 6/26 回美嗎？
1) opt 方面, 以 90 天計算, 預計 6月上旬可拿到 EAD 卡,
請朋友寄到台灣, 6/26 入境應該是沒問題.
2) h1b 方面, 問 attorney 可否出境他的回答是:
It is not advisable to travel if the H-1B is still pending.
Again, because the case is being filed with premium processing,
if selected it should be processed by mid May at the latest but
the processing dates are set by the USCIS only after all cases
are received so we cannot say for sure. I would not suggest
leaving unless your case was rejected or is already approved
because otherwise you risk an RFE for "maintenance of status"
and could ultimately have your H-1B issued for consular processing
instead of change of status.
查了一下, 好像是說收到抽籤結果前出境的話, 中籤的話還是可以 approve,
但 change of status (COS) 的選項會被放棄掉, 變成
consular processing, 十月的時候要回國蓋章.
不知道我的理解有沒有錯誤？感謝.
