  <body><![CDATA[<p>On May 12, 2016, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin premium processing for cap-subject H-1B petitions requesting premium processing. Students who have timely filed a cap-subject H1-B with their employers should submit the Cap-Gap I-20 Extension e-form in iStart. OIE will review these requests and confirm if the Cap-Gap is approvable in SEVIS.

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
