This form is for SUNY Poly Graduates who have recently changed their immigration status from F-1 Student to H1B or any other status in the U.S.
All former F-1 Students with approved/pending H1B status changes should use this form to submit a copy of the I797 Approval or Receipt Notice for review.
Former F-1 students who have changed status to another nonimmigrant or immigrant status, or permanent residency, should use this form to notify the ISS of their new status in the U.S.
The ISS Office will review your approval/receipt notice and ensure that your SEVIS record has been updated and/or completed to reflect the end of your F-1 Status.
Students with approved change of status are no longer required to maintain F-1 Student status requirements, such as OPT employment reporting, etc. You are still required to maintain F-1 requirements until the actual start of your new status, since you will still be in F-1 status until this date.
