Transcripts
hey everyone welcome to another video
and in this video i'm going to talk
about how i lost my stem extension
i haven't really talked about this to
anyone before
and uh this is the first time i'm even
telling my parents so they are going to
know
through this thing so i was in a really
bad state last year
once when when my stem extension didn't
go through so i'm going to tell you that
story
only a few people knew about it uh
someone knew about it my
roommate emmanuel about it and a couple
of people from hr knew about it so
let's go back a little bit let's go to
2017 when i joined purdue for the first
time
when you study at a us university you
have to apply for a certain number of
visas or you have to apply for a certain
number of like job
authorization from uscis and from the
university
and that's what we are talking about
here so there is cpt that is curricular
practical training there is opt that is
optional practical training
and there is stem extension that is
science technology
engineering and math extension um stem
extension you only get when your course
is stem approved uh opt and cpd you get
regardless of your course so in 2017
i joined purdue for my internship first
first
year that was 2018 summer i apply for my
cpd
applying for cpd the process is really
easy it's only through the university
you don't have to submit any of the
documents
to uscis so it makes the whole process
much easier
usually the designated school officer
who gives you i20 who
authorizes your i20 they'll help you
fill out the documents if you're missing
some
document they will help you out so the
process is
really easy i'm going to do three links
from uh from different
universities on how the process goes so
during the summer when you're applying
for your cpd for internship
it will be useful for you i go through
that process that's really easy
and then i decide i want to do a co-op
that is a four months or a semester-long
internship
that is also going through the
university and not through
uscis so that also goes through very
easily and i'm going to leave
link in description of the process on
how it goes
from different universities so that you
can check it out so cpd goes through
like really easily
and i'm all good every time i get work
authorization for like cpt and co-op
i get a new i-20 from the university
and uh during my summer internship and a
co-op
i get two i20s for that and one thing
which i'll tell you
save all of your i20s whatever itemities
you have
up until now save all the documents we
come to opt now that is optional
practical training
after my graduation i decide that i want
to work in the us
and i interview for a bunch of companies
i get into one of the companies that is
willman construction
as soon as i get the offer i go ahead
and apply for opt
one of the things which uscis did great
this year is made the whole
process of opt applying our opt
application online
earlier it was offline earlier stem
extension was offline as well
so what had happened was you have to
submit all the relevant documents
and then you send it through postal
services the process is fine the only
thing is like
nobody helps you with that process your
international student services office or
oiss or
whatever you want to call it at your
university those guys help you
but they'll not watch each and every
section of your
i-765 form and sometimes students can
mess it up i don't know it has happened
before one of my
really close friend's brother who was
studying at asu last year
his opt got denied for some reason and
at the end of the day
he had to go back so there are cases
like that so you have to make sure that
when you're filling up your opt
application it's
all solid and it's ready to go so i
filled in the application
put it through uscis i get an approval
from my
iss that is international student
services at video
that you're good to go i put in the
documents in
2019 when i applied for my opt it was
crazy during that time because a lot of
people
were applying us admissions were at peak
that time
u.s graduation was at peak that time so
there was just a lot of people
graduating
and uscis was really backed up
usually it takes like two months to
three months to get your ead card
mine took like four and a half months or
so and i know some people who have took
like
five months to get back so i applied in
april
and i got my ead approval in august i
started working on august 19th
um i think like a week after i got my
approval
it was good that i was work like my
employer was accommodating of the fact
that you know opt
can take a lot of time and hersh goes
that indian guy was going through the
same thing that time and
just communicating that with your
employer really works out it took four
months that's like
way too much time for it to take that
much for the process
but it came through and i was good to go
now comes the stem extension
so stem extension is a little different
in opt you are still at the university
while you're applying for it
you can just go to the iss to help you
out and you can get a double check with
everyone
myopt was getting over on 8th of july
2020.
i knew by this time my company my
employer already applied for my h1b
and my h1b picked up in the lottery
remember it was picked up in the lottery
it wasn't approved getting picked up in
the lottery doesn't necessarily mean
that it will
it will get approved the documents and
the backup documents that your lawyer
puts in
should make sense so i applied for my
stem extension that is the two years
extension over opt luckily my
lottery was picked up and i was like you
know i was comfortable sitting down and
waiting until the last moment like hey
i'll apply for my step extension that's
no big deal i applied on a month
a month and few days before my deadline
so july 8th was my deadline july 2020
and june 2nd is when i submitted all the
necessary documents that is
i-765 and there's a bunch of other forms
which you have to submit and there's a
list
which i'm going to put that as well and
you have to submit that to your iss
so that they can authorize that yeah you
are good to go and they will also
send you new i-20 saying that yeah this
is stem extension approved and what's
the status like just to give you a new
identity to
apply to the university or to apply to
the uscis
so i submitted my documents on june 2nd
and during that time because scovitus
was on the peak last year
during that time it was taking too much
time for iss to get back to me
so my i20 i received my i20 by june 22nd
and july 8th
that's not too far apart okay that's two
to three weeks apart i would say
eight plus eight sixteen so that's two
weeks apart
and uh that's that's just not too enough
time
for them to give me approval right away
okay so
i apply on june 22nd itself and i get a
notice that
they have received my case in on june
23rd it is good because
the uscis has office in phoenix it takes
a lot less time for them to
send a receivable notice uh usually even
if you're sending it to
in texas or i think san francisco has
one office or somewhere
it doesn't take too long to get a uh
like a notice that they have received
your documents but
once they receive your document it's
gonna take some time to process it right
so that process was going through now my
anxiety was going a little bit
like i was already late my status gets
over on july
8th what am i going to do now it was all
a weight came i was just waiting for it
on july 13th i think i saw
a message coming on my phone that hey
there's a change on your case you can
check it online so
i went to uscis websites put my receipt
number and i see
it didn't say denied it said something
else on july 16th i see
the document in my hand i see a post i
take out the post i open it up and i see
that there's a
i797c which is a rejection notice
i was like what the hell happened like
am i did i just get rejected for stem
extension what did i do wrong
i was like all right this this is some
sort of mistake you know
i'll try to figure it out and of course
i can apply again right like
in my mind at that time i was like all
right i'll just apply again for this
so i come to my apartment and i show it
to my roommate and i started looking it
up like
hey what does i 797c means and
can i apply for stem extension again now
because
8th of july was my last date i was a
little skeptical about it
but i was optimistic at that time i
looked it up online and it says that you
cannot apply for stem extension once
your
deadline is over so my opt is over and
if my stem extension is denied after it
i just can't apply
i'm like what the so usais took two
and a half weeks to just get back to me
to say that i've been rejected and i was
i was really nervous about it that night
i slept well i was like you know i'll
figure it out tomorrow
in the morning while i was doing my
business i looked it up on my phone and
started
reading a lot about it and that's
the time when i got really anxious
that's the time when i got really
nervous like
ah this i think means that i lost
my stem extension
i applied first of all a little too late
and second when i was going through my
forms seeing like why did i not
get my stem extension what happened was
in the i-765 form
on the first page there's a check box
which asks like
are you applying for opt are you
applying for stem extension
and i didn't mark that checkbox i had
everything prepared everything was good
to go
except for that checkbox and because of
that checkbox
i got rejected and that made me that
friday
so july 17th was the friday when i went
to the office
and in the morning i first of all
emailed iss that is
international student services at pdu
and
i emailed my hr i told her like hey this
is the case
what should i be doing i am a little
skeptical that i'm out of status so i
don't even know if i should be working
right now
um you know just being in this space so
much
like i have seen some people getting
into this kind of problems
so it's always better to just reach out
to your
international student services and your
hr if you're working during that time
i reach out to her she gets back to me
quickly like hey i forwarded this to the
lawyer
let me check with her like what's going
on we don't want you to be working
if you're out of status she was really
nice about it really comforting
but to get to a lawyer like even if a
company is hired lawyer full-time
it takes a little while because they're
always busy and something
so i get to it and i'm sitting there and
i'm like
my pants almost like oh am
i out of status would i have to go back
so i was a little
optimistic more about that hey my
lottery is picked up
for h1b so my case is already in
i haven't got an approval notice but it
should look positive
just in case everything goes to and
i'm out of status i'll just leave the
country
right now and just come back after my
h1b stamping
and that would take a while so i would
be gone for the from the country for at
least
six to seven months seeing how covered
was during that time
so again i'm reaching out to isis i'm
calling them they're not able to get
back to me they're like
hey just email and we'll see how it goes
then
and um i'm texting my hr like hey did
you get any status update from
the lawyers she's like hey the lawyers
just got back to me
they're saying that they'll give me a
call at 3 p.m
and it is a friday so i'm off early like
we usually do 7 to 4
and i got out by 2 30 that day and i'm
trying to sleep i'm trying to take a nap
because i'm like just
so frustrated i didn't sleep well last
night so
i'm trying to take a nap i'm trying to
calm down and hr calls me up and tells
them like
hey park looks like you are completely
okay
ah and i was like all right that sounds
perfect
so what the hr did was hr put together a
total case and
gave it to the lawyers and told her hey
this is the case
because i sent like a very comprehensive
mail to her
saying that hey this is the notice which
i got this is my all my i20s these are
all my documents
so once the lawyer saw that she figured
out like hey
this person should be on cap cap right
now now let me tell you what capcap is
so if you're on opt not first of all not
every course has stem extension okay
if you're on opt um and if your employer
applies for h1b right away then
you have like this three months of
period or two months of period between
your end of opt and october 1st
when your h1b kicks in so between that
time
a student is in cap cap so what cap gap
is like when you
are approved for your h-1b you get onto
cab gap so you're never out of status
so you don't have to go fly back to your
country and come back in you could still
stay in the country and your
h1b will just kick in on the on
october 1st that's when it kicks in i
took a deep breath
she sent me some more reading material
on what tab cap is
i read about cap cap and i was so so
relaxed
luckily by 24th july
is when i got approval notice saying
that hey your h1b is approved so i calm
down even more that day
but the point of me making this video is
just that
i will i have been in this like space
and i've been helping students and i
have all the resources even then i got
really nervous and scared
and it was my mistake at the end of the
day that i did not fill up that check
box at i-765
i should have double checked triple
checked maybe i should have asked a
friend of mine to
check it for me and yeah i just got
lucky because match when we got picked
up if it wouldn't
have gotten picked up i would have been
in a flux
thank you so much guys for watching this
video if you have been in this kind of
situation before
please comment down below and tell me
how did you solve it
and yeah thank you so much guys for
watching and until then i'll see in the
next one
take care everyone bye
