Question

我已经拿到receipt notice了，但是我问了学校，办公室说“Your SEVIS record, N0010483831, still shows STEM OPT as "Requested" not "Pending". ”这个会有影响吗？是不是一定是等到sevis 显示pending后才有180天延长？ 还是拿到receipt notice就等于有了180天延长？

Answer 1

您拿到OPT延期的receipt之后，就算是可以继续延长180天的有效工作身份。

If you file your STEM OPT extension application on time and your OPT period expires while your extension application is pending, we will automatically extend your employment authorization for 180 days.  This automatic 180-day extension ceases once USCIS adjudicates your STEM OPT extension application.
