如果你是bet365中文大学的学生，持有F-1学生签证和I-20, 您应该监控某些关键日期，并采取必要的行动:

• 到达日期. 看看你I-20上的项目开始日期. You can enter the United States beginning 30 days before this date (and not any earlier).  您可以在此日期后30天内进入美国, but you should have permission from your academic advisor to arrive late or you will not be able to take classes. 如果您没有在开始日期的30天内进入美国, your I-20 will be auto-canceled by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP).
   
• I-20项目结束日期. If the program end date on your I-20 is approaching and you will not actually complete your program by this date, 请填妥并提交 I-20延期表格 至少在课程结束前30天. 如果您等到此程序结束日期之后才开始扩展过程, you will likely not have the extension option and will automatically enter the 60天宽限期 (see below).
   
• CPT批准日期. 你不能通过以下途径开始校外工作 CPT until you have received authorization on your I-20 with an official CPT start date from a designated school official (DSO) in the Office of 国际学生服务. 如果你在CPT批准和正式开始日期之前开始校外工作, 你的工作将被视为非法雇佣.
   
• OPT申请时间. 你可以开始 OPT application process and submit the OPT Status Form beginning 90 days before the program end date listed on your I-20. Make sure you will actually graduate at the time of this program end date before you apply for OPT because once you start the OPT application process you cannot reverse it. 你也可以在项目结束后60天内申请OPT, but please understand that if you wait until your program end date or after to apply for OPT, 你可能无法完成12个月的OPT.
   
• OPT开始日期. Once OPT is approved by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), 你会收到一张员工授权卡. 在EAD卡上列出的开始日期之前，你不能开始OPT工作.
   
• OPT失业期. OPT被批准时，你不需要有工作, but you do need to find employment (at least 30 hours/week) within the first 90 days after the start date listed on your EAD card. If you do not register employment in your SEVIS Portal account within these first 90 days, 您的OPT状态将自动结束.
   
• 60天宽限期. Once your program end date arrives and you have taken no previous action (such as extending your I-20 or applying for OPT), 您将自动进入60天的宽限期. 在此期间, 你可以申请OPT, 申请另一个学习项目, 把你的I-20转到另一所学校, 或者什么都不做. If you do nothing, you will be required to depart the United States once the 60 days is up. 注意:一旦进入60天的宽限期, 你将不能延长I-20上的项目结束日期. 最后，在完成OPT (i)后.e., the employment end date listed on your EAD card), you will enter the 60天宽限期.
