OPT Reporting Requirements

Post-Completion OPT Reporting Requirements (12 Months)

All students on OPT are required to report any changes within 10 days. You are required to report contact information changes and employer changes via your SEVP Portal. Failure to comply with any of the reporting requirements constitutes a violation of your legal F-1 status.

 

SEVP PORTAL- Self Reporting Tool

The SEVP Portal is a tool that F-1 students engaged in post-completion OPT and STEM OPT Extension can choose to use to report certain updates to SEVIS.

You will receive an email from SEVP to create a portal at the same time as your EAD authorization start date.
