Reporting your OPT employment

After receiving your approval notice for Post Completion OPT from USCIS, you must report your employment to ISGSS immediately. You are still an F-1 student even though you are doing OPT. If you do not report to our office within 90 days after your approved OPT start date, your status will be terminated. If you cannot find a job within 90 days of the start of your OPT, then you must make plans to depart the US immediately or change to some other status in the US.

Please use the form linked below to report any of the following:

  • First/ initial OPT employment report
  • Additional OPT employment report
  • Change of OPT employer
  • Reporting a change to previously reported employment.


Our processing time for this request is 5 working days, only if your form is complete with no corrections needed. Note: sending multiple emails to follow up will only delay your request.

Reminder: Your Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ email account will be deactivated one year after you complete your program. Please ensure that you use your personal email address for all SEVIS and USCIS-related communications and forms.
