本人仔细读过官网上有关OPT的各种规定和常见问题,基本上可以回答版上所有有关OPT的问题,并有两次申请OPT的经历,对这次申请OPT延期的主要体会有:

1 OPT申请需要多久?
人品问题,我第一次OPT用了2个星期,这次OPT延期总耗时超过5个月,处理时间大概4个月,其中学校IOS负有不可推卸的责任,反应速度慢,更重要的是第一次漏了我的I-20使得处理时间2个月 又两个月, 否则看样子2个月应该可以搞定。

2 OPT Extension申请期间OPT过期了怎么办?
中间我的OPT在10月2日就已经过期,不过按照规定,在OPT Extension Application Pending期间即使OPT过期也可以继续工作up to 180天。不需要申请,什么也不用干,继续工作就是,缺点就是没EAD,不能renew driver's license,好在我可以做bus上班,偶尔也开车,今天去renew

3. Self-employed或者contractor怎么申请OPT Extension?
申请Extension的时候要填的表I-765上要求填写Employer Name和E-Verify Number,而对于contractor或者self-employed的人来说,工作单位并不是自己的employer。比如我现在的工作是 Contractor,跟工作单位不是雇佣关系,因此申请OPT Extension的时候不能用工作单位作为e
er。为此仔细研究过相关规定,并咨询过USCIS的相关人员,电话过也Email过,最后得到的结论就是自己注册公司,申请business license,然后公司加入E-Verify,用E-verify系统Verify自己的Eligibility,然后申请OPT Extension的时候就用自己公司的名字和E-Verify Number
ΑR蛭沂莍ndependent contractor,所以属于self-employed business owner,现工作单位相当于我的客户,我的工作也就是我的business activity。这种情况完全符合OPT Extension的规定:Self-employed business owner. Students on a STEM extension can start a busin
nd be self-employed. In this situation, the student must register his or her business with E-Verify and work full time. The student must be able to prove that he or she has the proper business licenses and is actively engaged in a business related to
or her degree program。

4. Other Advantages of starting business:
All the expenses related to your business are tax deductable. Examples include commuting expenses(gas, maintainance etc), health insurance, gym fees, computers, books, even dinner or movie if that is related to your business.

有想self-employed解决OPT期间employment问题的同学可以借鉴,但需要注意的是我是有business activity的,也符合其他相关的规定。如果有人想靠开空头公司但不干任何事情来解决问题,我认为理论上这是不行的,实际上还是 unemployment,虽然可能没有人管,但那是另一回事

  https://killer.sh Pre Setup Once you've gained access to your terminal it might be wise to spend ~1 minute to setup your environment. You could set these: alias k = kubectl                         # will already be pre-configured export do = "--dry-run=client -o yaml"     # k get pod x $do export now = "--force --grace-period 0"   # k delete pod x $now Vim To make vim use 2 spaces for a tab edit ~/.vimrc to contain: set tabstop=2 set expandtab set shiftwidth=2 More setup suggestions are in the tips section .     Question 1 | Contexts Task weight: 1%   You have access to multiple clusters from your main terminal through kubectl contexts. Write all those context names into /opt/course/1/contexts . Next write a command to display the current context into /opt/course/1/context_default_kubectl.sh , the command should use kubectl . Finally write a second command doing the same thing into /opt/course/1/context_default_no_kubectl.sh , but without the use of k

标 题: 关于Daniel Guo 律师

发信人: q123452017 (水天一色), 信区: I140 标  题: 关于Daniel Guo 律师 关键字: Daniel Guo 发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Thu Apr 26 02:11:35 2018, 美东) 这些是lz根据亲身经历在 Immigration版上发的帖以及一些关于Daniel Guo 律师的回 帖,希望大家不要被一些马甲帖广告帖所骗,慎重考虑选择律师。 WG 和Guo两家律师对比 1. fully refund的合约上的区别 wegreened家是case不过只要第二次没有file就可以fully refund。郭家是要两次case 没过才给refund,而且只要第二次pl draft好律师就可以不退任何律师费。 2. 回信速度 wegreened家一般24小时内回信。郭律师是在可以快速回复的时候才回复很快,对于需 要时间回复或者是不愿意给出确切答复的时候就回复的比较慢。 比如:lz问过郭律师他们律所在nsc区域最近eb1a的通过率,大家也知道nsc现在杀手如 云,但是郭律师过了两天只回复说让秘书update最近的case然后去网页上查,但是上面 并没有写明tsc还是nsc。 lz还问过郭律师关于准备ps (他要求的文件)的一些问题,模版上有的东西不是很清 楚,但是他一般就是把模版上的东西再copy一遍发过来。 3. 材料区别 (推荐信) 因为我只收到郭律师写的推荐信,所以可以比下两家推荐信 wegreened家推荐信写的比较长,而且每封推荐信会用不同的语气和风格,会包含lz写 的research summary里面的某个方面 郭家四封推荐信都是一个格式,一种语气,连地址,信的称呼都是一样的,怎么看四封 推荐信都是同一个人写出来的。套路基本都是第一段目的,第二段介绍推荐人,第三段 某篇或几篇文章的abstract,最后结论 4. 前期材料准备 wegreened家要按照他们的模版准备一个十几页的research summary。 郭律师在签约之前说的是只需要准备五页左右的summary,但是在lz签完约收到推荐信 ,郭律师又发来一个很长的ps要lz自己填,而且和pl的格式基本差不多。 总结下来,申请自己上心最重要。但是如果选律师,lz更倾向于wegreened,
