[Santhosh Reddy Mummadi]

I am hearing that there is a memo is about to come which is  effective from August 9th. 

Who ever is pursuing the CPT day 1 in Second Master's ?

Any news with confirmation and which parties will be affected due to the memo which is about to come.

 

Thanks

I was intially on OPT for 12 months, as I haven't got extension.

I chosed to join other college for my second masters  and I took Day 1 CPT.

Does it make my presence unlawful ? will I be affected with the memo which is set to go effective from August 9th -"Accrued Unlawful Presence by Nonimmigrant Students "

I guess you are talking about this memo: https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-changing-policy-accrued-unlawful-presence-nonimmigrant-students-and-exchange-visitors

which goes into effect on August 9.

If you are enrolled in one of these fraud "CPT from day 1" schools, you may be out of status, and with this memo, you could be unlawful present from Aug. 9. It has always been bad to sign up with these fraud schools...

Yes. You can only have one year of practical training per education level. That means your CPT is violating the rules, so you are out of status. With this memo, you will accrue unlawful presence.

Abuse of CPT is a really bad idea! You essentially killed your future in the US.
