OPT EMPLOYMENT REPORTING FORM
Students approved for Optional Practical Training (OPT) are required to report their employer’s name and address and
the start date of employment as soon as they begin working; they must also report termination of employment. They
must continue to report changes in their residential address within 10 days of moving. Students approved for a STEM
extension of OPT have additional reporting obligations. Required information must be submitted to ISO so it may be
updated in SEVIS. Failure to comply will result in termination of the student’s SEVIS record and loss of legal F-1
immigration status.
