分享一个OPT被拒重开后approved同时H1B生效前面签的案例

今年MS毕业，在申请OPT的同时公司帮忙file了regular cap的consular processing H1B并中签。加上opt今年的超长处理时间才给了uscis机会错误地拒掉了我opt的机会。
Timeline:

3.18: Initial OPT case was received

6.14: H1B Approved
吐槽一下公司律师在过了一个多月OPT被拒后才去找USCIS关于H1B的回信……

7.17: 回国 & OPT Decision notice was mailed
几天后收到decision，被拒原因是:
> "A search of USCIS records indicates that on June 14, 2019, your status was changed to H1B. blahblahblah"

7.30: 学校DSO联系Potomac center指出errorneous denial，答曰不爽你可以file motion。
此时计划让公司律师准备file motion，同时推迟入职到10/1之后约H1B面签。

8.1 OPT case was reopened
在这个几天后把motion的资料寄给律师后发现收到reopen notice，OPT case已经被重开。

8.10 OPT New card is being produced

8.12 广州H1B面签 水过
VO只要了 I-797B 和护照，问了年薪和职位，以及简单描述job duty因为还没入职。

8.13 OPT Card was mailed to me & H1B Visa Issued
拿到护照后发现F-1签证已被cancelled without prejudice，就只好乖乖等9月底用H1B入境啦。
