| On July 23, 2004, USCIS published a notice in the federal register regarding students who are waiting for changes of status to H-1B, which may not occur before October 1, 2004 due to the cap being met early this year. "...If the prospective employer has timely filed a change of status...to H-1B...that is received by DHS on or before July 30, 2004 and contains an employment start date of no later than October 1, 2004..." The duration of status [D/S] for F-1 and J-1 students [not subject to the two year home residency requirement] will be extended until October 1, 2004 unless the H-1B petition is denied prior to that date. |
