My employer will soon file the H-1B petition, and I need to request an updated Cap-Gap I-20 from my university to ensure my SEVIS record reflects my extended F-status. How do I make sure they do it right?

Generally speaking, make sure the H-1B petition requests a change of status, and provide a copy of the receipt notice to your International Student Office (ISO).
