Hello! Does anyone know if the provision 245(k) counts the 180 days time limit starting from the last entry of the same visa (say if it only counts starting the day of most recent entry under F-1 visa), or does it only reset with a new visa? If I accrued some days of unauthorized work before my most recent entry, are those days also included in the 180-day cap, or does the clock resets when I exit and re-enter the US with the same F-1 visa? Thanks!

It's since the most recent admission. If you left the US and were admitted on F1 status, then you just need to have no more than 180 days of being out of status and unlawful employment after that last admission. Days of being out of status or unlawful employment before the most recent admission don't count.
This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice. -
PLEASE HELP!
I am on F1 status now for masters degree.
I completed a PAID internship (66 days) (within my field of study) in the Summer before graduation (undergrad) , I am realizing it was unauthorized because it was not under CPT.
Left the US after graduation, now I am back for grad school under new I-20 and sevis record. A company will start the h1b process for me soon.
Do I notify them of what happened?
Will I get automatically rejected?
Does the 245k apply to h1b?
Does the 180 day rule for unauthorized employment work under h1b?
I always worked on campus and this was my first internship. I never did CPT or OPT.Comment
