当时opt6月到期，h1b申请4月就下来了。以为符合cap-gap条件就没去学校申请cap-gap
I-20。今天律师问起来，说opt和h1b间三个半月的时间有没有工作。所有的交过的表
格都显示这期间有工作。虽然律师说有180 days Grace period，但还是想问大家这种
情况最好怎么处理？有同样经历的朋友吗？谢谢了

有工作的人又如何证明OPT在工作呢？

楼上各位，我今天也发现一样的情况，当时不知道要和学校申请cap gap i20。后来大
家都怎么样？影响吗？和小弟说一说，挺急的，先谢谢啦！

我翻出来当年律师给发的信，上面解释说，如果h1b被批准的日子当天opt还没过期，
opt自动延长到9月30号。
我h1b那年2014抽签之后很快就批准了，在我opt过期（6月30）之前。所以我的理解是
我拿着h1b apporve notice 和最后一个i20的过期日对比一下，就能证明cap-gap 自动
生效。

这种情况下，cap-gap extension难道不是自动的？为什么需要额外的I-20？我的理解
，SEVIS会更新当前的I-20，延期到当年9.30。这样的话，从所谓opt结束的6月到9.30
，就无所谓gap了。

和大家简单说下情况，16年抽中的H1B，现在换工作，新雇主的移民律师问我要CAP-GAP
的I-20.
然而16年我并没有在gap期问学校要CAP-GAP的I-20。
会影响新雇主的H1B申请吗？现在问学校要还来得及吗？
如果大家谁有相似的经验请和我说哈！

regulations
The cap-gap extension of OPT is ******automatic******* for eligible students
. A student does not file an application for the extension or receive a new
Employment Authorization Document (EAD) to cover the additional time. The
only proof of continued employment authorization currently available to an
affected student is an updated Form I-20 showing an extension of OPT, issued
to the student by his or her Designated School Official (DSO). This
document serves as proof of continued employment authorization.
If a student chooses to obtain an updated Form I-20, the student should go
to his or her DSO with evidence of a timely-filed H-1B petition (indicating
a request for change of status rather than for consular processing), such as
a copy of the petition and a FedEx, UPS, or USPS Express/certified mail
receipt. The student’s DSO will issue an updated Form I-20, showing an
extension until June 1.
If the H-1B petition is selected by USCIS, the student should return to his
or her DSO with a copy of the petitioning employer’s Form I-797, Notice of
Action, indicating that the petition was filed and accepted. The Form I-797
must have a valid receipt number. The student’s DSO will issue another
updated Form I-20, showing an extension until October 1. In such situations,
the student can continue to work while the update to his or her Form I-20
is being processed. Because the cap-gap extension is automatic, the updated
Form I-20 is not required for a student to continue working; it merely
serves as proof of the extension of OPT employment authorization.
