Maintaining status on OPT is still the same as usual

You are permitted only 90 days of unemployment between the start and end dates on your EAD card. In addition, you are required to report the following information through the SEVP Portal while on OPT within 10 days of the change:

 

1. When you start a new job.

Please be aware that if you are unemployed for more than 90 days, you will lose your OPT status. Also, during this uncertain time, we do not suggest international travel as there is no guarantee of open borders.

This Week's Interesting Read

Make Your Dreams Come True by Marcia Wieder



Why do we have to put a limitation on our dreams? It’s not real life, it’s a dream world. There are limitations in the real world but we don’t have to extend these limitations to our imagination. Let our imagination be imaginative and let our dreams be unreasonable and seem unrealistic. Watch people who have achieved significant milestones; their dreams were not reasonable when first conceived. How do we see it in reality if it’s not vividly imagined in our dreams first? Go dream BIG and good luck with your dreams!!


Once you dream, if you need help to make them come true, read Marcia’s book on that topic —

Make your dreams come true.
