Welcome everyone! Please feel free to say hi in the chat!

Hey Ba-PIER gang

Hello to everyone from Language Pacifica!

Hello from Northwestern Polytechnic University

Hello from San Mateo Community College District! Thank you for organizing the call!

Hello from City College of San Francisco :)

Yes all good!

Will you link the website for us?

https://www.ice.gov/coronavirus

Thank you

Yeah Ron!

Lol!

This year I had a student who was told she was out of status, and then someone else called claiming to be a DSO at our school confirming the information from the first person. That was a new one for me and very scary!

In case you missed it, the Agenda is linked here: https://www.bapier.com/bapiermeetings.htm

We can see you Ron!

Is there something DSOs can do to advocate for fall guidance to be issued sooner rather than later? Our schools are planning for fall classes and course registration very soon…..we need info!

OPT approval-delays?

New mailing address for opt

Jessie, That's USCIS, not SEVP.

So do they need at least one in-person class?

I think that's what they're saying.

Yes that's true. But there has been some delay for a few students any help on this is appreciated.

My understanding is that it is up to the institution, as it defines hybrid. Some institutions have an in-person component of one class.

Has there been an official announcement by DHS that they withdrew the proposed change to D/S?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! I have to hop off to another meeting, but it was great seeing you all!

Thanks for coming Chikako!

I have to run into a meeting. But, thank you and stay healthy everyone! Mahalo!

Thank you everyone. I have to join another call but hopefully can come back after the call

Thanks Vaolele and Maria for attending!

I am the opposite - I did it in Fall, not in Spring

No, but they're required to take 12 units?

Thank you, all! I'm going to another meeting now.

Wait and see approach

Still seeing what happens for summer!

our chancellor said in coming weeks will have an update about Fall

Around April

Still trying to make decisions about summer

We have opted for for Hybrid modality in Spring 2021

Cabrillo has already announced online with a few in person options. Like this spring.

For fall

probably end of March for smccd

Becky, I’m going to have to jump off soon but speaking of OPT, I was wondering if anyone has heard more information about applying for opt while waiting for a reinstatement decision?

I have a student applied for OPT in October, no receipt yet.

*STEM OPT

Our student applied in Sept and no receipt yet.

No receipt came, but approval in 3 months

yes in the Fall.

We do too.

By hand

yes

electronic

yes, if they filed the wrong tax form

We had some too for the first round

Yes

They filed 1040 instead of 1040 NR

We have one

not really…

Thank you Lisa for looking....

yes same here. I wrote detailed notes in the record.

I have a student from Vietnam graduated in December can't get a flight. He applied for OPT to buy some time.

agreed, this is not a termination situation. it would auto complete or transfer to new school.

Initial... as it states on the I-20.

Can I give a biased 2nd as Leandro’s supervisor :)

hahah Sarah! Glad you've made Leandro excited about the position!

I'd like to thank all of our current officers for doing a great job especially with the transition to online meetings! Very much appreciated! Would you like to continue?

I'm going to take a break only because I have a little one on the way so that's the only reason I'm not continuing.
