F-1 Student: H1B Approval Notice Submission

This form is for SUNY Poly Graduates who have recently changed their immigration status from F-1 Student to H1B.

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.

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 H1B 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.
