USCIS has announced that SEVIS records will be automatically deactivated for H-1B petitioners approved under consular processing, effective January 21. Affected individuals are advised to contact their Designated School Official (DSO) promptly to address this issue.
Key Details:
- SEVIS records deactivated automatically upon H-1B consular processing approval.
- Applicants must inform their DSO within 15 days for quick reactivation.
- If more than 15 days have passed, a correction request can be submitted, potentially reactivating the SEVIS record within a week.
- OPT applicants applying for STEM OPT must ensure timely submission of all requirements to avoid complications.
This development is crucial for H-1B applicants to maintain their immigration status and avoid disruptions in their studies or work. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
