Answer

You must report employment changes within 10 days:

  • Update SEVIS portal (preferred method)
  • Notify your DSO via email or in person
  • Provide employer information: Name, address, job title, start date

What to report:

  • Starting new job
  • Changing employers
  • Ending employment
  • Address changes
  • Name changes

Failure to report can result in termination of OPT status.
