2019Fall真心想聊聊GAP半年的可能性

zagrozenie 发表于 2020/06/11 14:36:44
情况差不多，但有5年签的话，gap或者defer重签很不划算，再加上入境禁令不明朗，所以前几天五个一机票就没走，这两天比...

我的学校回复是不需要重签。
以下是邮件原文

It depends on the timing of everything. If you are out of the country for more than 5 months, then you will get a new I-20 and SEVIS number. If this happens, you will have to pay the SEVIS fee again, and your eligibility to apply for CPT/OPT will have reset. Meaning, you would need to meet the one full academic year requirement before being eligible. This means you couldn’t do any CPT. However, for the final term as long as you complete a reduce course load request, you would still be eligible for OPT after Fall 2021.

 

If you take a leave of absence, but are out of the US for less than 5 months, we will reactivate your SEVIS record. You would be eligible to apply for CPT when you’ve come back (spring, summer, and fall 2021) and OPT after fall 2021.

 

In both cases, you do not need to get a new visa since it’s valid until 2024. It won’t matter if you’ve been outside the country longer than five months or not.

 

Regards,

我gap了，现在在公司呢，每天下班后刷面试题（我学vlsi的），以及，别去华为呀，找个外企呗

这里似乎主要是再说five month rule如何影响cpt，最后说都不会影响有些笼统。我们学校是有个关于这个的q&a：if i am enrolled for class but outside the U.S. for  more than 5 months, will I lose my visa status?

给出的答复是

No. Students who are outside the US for more than five months and not enrolled or pursuing their program objectives lose their visa status. However student pursuing study abroad opportunities, conducting research, or performing any other activity while maintaining appropriate class enrollment do not lose their visa status. During the COVID-19 pandemic, students who maintain their enrollment while taking classes online will be considered as maintaining their status and will not be subject to the "Five Month Rule."

这里说无法持续身份的条件是outside the US 且notenrolled or pursing program，我的理解是defer和gap是同时满足这两条的。后面说只要在上网课就不适用five month rule，也符合邮件里的内容。

LZ可以拉Qun讨论一下

我现在主要是有点担心回国之后能不能回来的问题，一年签确实比较难受

lz决定了吗

请问去华为有影响嘛 帮同学问问

楼主你好，我也是一年签，而且刚被华为主管面拒了orz。我也一直在犹豫要不要回去gap半年，可是一时半会也搞不定机票，只好先投着先面着，继续观望，暑假都快被我观望完了。
