首先只要公司给办H1就没问题吧，什么时候通知学校好呢，现在还要麻烦他们弄CPT什
么的，不好这么
早跟他们说H1生效后要quit
option 1. spring最后一个月+summer CPT，spring和summer之间的几天gap上班会有问
题吗？
另外只允许CPT两学期，summer 8月中就结束，一直到H1生效怎么解决？
option 2. spring先不上班或者volunteer，summer+fall头一个月CPT，也是summer和
fall
之间几天gap的问题
option 3. spring最后一个月CPT + pre-OPT，这个得看pre-OPT加急的rp了
我们还有什么没考虑到的问题？还有没有其他的option？
谢谢！

CPT多长时间能下来么？
先用Spring CPT最后一个月然后同时申请Pre-OPT 拿到了就用到10.1 拿不到就开始
Summer CPT 期间几天的gap 的话可以算作unpaid吧还是F1身份没关系的
Pre-opt 能不能full time 要不要继续上课？

why is there a gap? i asume there is no gap... at least for my school, the
earlies start of the next cpt will be the next day of end date in previous
cpt...
"允许CPT两学期": is this your scholl's policy? generally, it should be "full
time cpt could not exceed 365 days, otherwise you will lose your opt"
illegal to be a volunteer, even not paid

跟我的情况几乎一模一样，除了我没有转F2或者H4的option以外，
所以我之前想过各种情况，也请了律师验证，说的不对的请大家指正。
首先，你老婆是必须要在10.1之前就要上班，还是只是想待在美国
保证这段时间的身份合法？假设是想上班，你们说的通知学校是指通
知系里还是通知学校国际学生办公室？
我的情况是系里知道我quit，并且愿意do everything they can来
帮我。不幸的是国际学生办公室的人也知道了，这来源于我之前的
一个失误(不多说了)，而他们的态度是想方设法不让我办CPT或者
pre-OPT,我现在已经放弃。这个事情道理上的确是不能办的，所以
多说无益，别人的态度已经摆在那了。但是如果你们还没让他们知道，
也许有戏办CPT。
不过办CPT有几个问题，严格来说，是需要导师证明这份工作跟thesis
是息息相关的，少了就做不了thesis了，那么你们给导师说实话吗？
还有，办CPT需要有offer letter，如果公司给你的是full time offer
letter,我觉得是有问题的，如果你们学校国办的不是amazingly nice
的话。这就需要你们去跟公司要一份intern的offer letter，公司愿意
这么做吗？也许愿意，可惜我的公司不愿意，因为他们的律师认为既然
在帮我做H1B，说明我没有intention回到学校，所以不能发intern。

如果一定要留美国，也许可以注册学分保F1身份，但在10.1之前drop掉，
应该可以refund大部分学费。然后withdraw from school,有15天的grace
period，就可以等到10.1生效了。
同上。不过你们学校还真flexible,CPT可以任何时候？我们只能是在
school not in session的时候。
pre-OPT我放弃是因为，我认为USCIS这个组织，不会同时批给你pre-OPT和
H1B，所以我放弃申请pre-OPT而保H1.道理就是，pre-OPT的意义就是assume
你会回到学校接着念，USCIS那已经知道你申了H1，你怎么跟人家说你有
intention接着念？我猜测他们一定会拒掉其中一个，这跟post-OPT是不一样的。
我的option是回国待一段时间，然后用H1签证签回来。你们肯定不愿意用
这个option，但可以open-mind一下。

lz是说等h1b生效就退学吗？
学期间好像不可以全职CPT的，而且还得交钱注册学分，得不偿失
有gap肯定是不能上班的，和公司商量一下，几天估计可以通融，如果gap是2个月就比
较麻烦了，除非小公司好商量，你做volunteer(虽然也不合法)

我被interview过，过程和这个相似，这个是一个老印论坛上看到了，贴在下面：
Just came back from the AOS interview that lasted just under 10 minutes.
Officer said that he will approve the applications as soon as visa numbers
are available come October. As of now there are no visa numbers as far as he
knows. Those who want to read just the summary can scroll down and just
read the summary.. rest ..Keep on reading.
Here is the complete experience -
We(Me and my wife and kid) reached the Local Office at San Jose half an hour
before the scheduled time. We had a suitcase full of docs(size of airline
hand luggage) and our marriage photo album with us. Went in 15 minutes prior
to the interview with our Attorney. Were surprised to see that office was
almost entirely empty. We and another couple just went in. Attorney briefed
us again on what to expect and offered advice that be careful and brief to
provide only the information that is asked for. Not more and no less and
tell the truth. We put in interview letters in the box under the window.
Were called in by a smiling officer right at the time.
Officer, who was a very nice and professional gentleman around 45-50yrs of
age, greeted us and asked us to sit. Our attorney presented the G-28 forms.
After that attorney did not speak a word for the rest of the interview. He
didn’t need to.
Officer put us under oath. And interview began.
First officer asked for our DLs/passports. He looked at the DL and asked
whether it’s our current address on it. We said No; current address is at
the interview letter. He asked when we moved to the new address, I replied
and told him the time. He then flipped through our passports. Took our I-94s
out and attached it to a forms (one each for me and my spouse- our photos
were attached to the form) in front of him. It was a form where he wrote
down our addresses from the interview letter. Then he asked us to sign in a
box on that form. Took the index FPs on it. Repeated the exercise on the
back of the form and for my spouse.
The he asked for Birth Certificates. I gave them all three, for me, my wife
and my son who is a US citizen. He asked for a copy of my son's Birth
Certificate and I was happy to give it. He kept the copy and put in the file
. He returned our originals. He had copies for my spouse and me already. He
verified that we have no other children.
Then He asked whether I still work for my company (He took the name). I said
yes. He asked for EVL(Employment Verification letter) and salary slips.
Given to him. He kept the letter and retuned the salary slips. The he asked
for copy of 2006 Tax returns. I gave him our copy of W2s and tax returns. He
kept it.
Then he said he is going to ask us some questions.. He asked whether we did
support any terrorist orgs or sold drugs, we obviously said NO. Then he
asked whether I was arrested/cited.... at any other time other than
mentioned on the application(Obviously he was aware), I said No. My wife
said no too. That’s it. He didnt ask about any court docs for my DUI.. We
anyway submitted everything at the time of filling I-485 so probably he didn
’t think it is need. No other word regarding the incident.
Then he said that he will approve our applications but can’t do it now
since no visa numbers are available. Gave us a letter indicating the same
reason. This letter has our A#s, correct priority dates(unlike the interview
letter),and category as E37/39 and our county of chargeability . He said,”
I will keep the file and will send you letters of approval in October or as
and when visa numbers are available. You don’t have to come again. Your
cards will be produced the old fashioned way and it may take another month
after that. “
After that, we got up and thanked the officer and came out. All in all, a
nice and pleasant experience though a bit sad because we couldn’t sign the
deal though.
My bad, I didn’t show him the latest visa bulletin, which made July current
again. I didn’t know whether it would help. Something inside didn’t want
to bother him. Anyway my PD is in early 2002, hence I believe it wouldn’t
retrogress so far back in Oct, but you never know. We got up, said thank you
. He gave a candy to my son for being nice to Daddy and Mommy.. Surprisingly
my son was busy with his cars and didn't run around and stormed the rest of
the rooms there.
That’s it. Letter we got says that we mail a copy to Local office if visa
bulletin declares our dates are current. Inquires can be done either by
infopass or letters to local office not before 3 months from the date of
interview.
Though this post is long.. The whole experience lasted less than 10 minutes.
SUMMARY -
1) Asked for DLs/Passports/Birth Certificates. Kept a copy of my son's(USC)
BC as we didn’t submit it when we filed I-485. Took EVLs, saw salary slips
and took a copy of 2006 tax returns and W2.(Actually he didn’t ask for W2s,
but I have all of them attached.)
2) Took our I-94s. Took index FPs and signatures for my spouse and me. Didnt
ask for EADs/APs/H1s/H4s and didnt take even our latest APs and EADs..
3) Verified that no other incident happened other than the DUI mentioned on
I-485 application. Didn’t even ask for any documentation. We supplied
everything at the time of filing I-485, hence he had it.
4) Asked a couple of standard Qs from I-485 application whose answers were
NO.. Stuff like whether you ever supported terrorist orgs or sold drugs..
5) Could not approve for lack of visa bulletin. He said would keep our file
with him and approve it in October when visa numbers are there.
6) Gave us a letter that indicates that he couldn’t approve AOS because
visa numbers aren’t there as per state department's visa bulletin. This
letter has lot of other reasons like pending background checks/FBI Name
check pend/Additional review required.. He didn’t check or mention anything
else other than visa number no available related checkbox..
I wish rest of the guys all the best for their interviews. I have tried to
be as detailed as I could. Hope it helps.

你们学校这么奇怪，你交钱注册学分就是了，他们为什么要管你是不是继续念，只要交
钱并且按时去上课了他们没有任何理由终止你的F1身份啊。
CPT估计是不行的，但是pre-opt应该没有问题吧，这个归USCIS管
