Spring OPT application process is now open. You can access and complete all required documents for the OPT application.
If you are an international student graduating in the Spring 2021 semester, you may start applying for OPT after January 31, 2021.
Choose an OPT start date between May 2 and June 30, 2021.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have any reservations regarding graduation for Spring 2021 semester, please do not apply for OPT until after semester end grades have been posted.
|
|
How can I apply for an OPT I-20 and where can I obtain it since the UCIE office is closed?
Although the campus is temporarily closed, OPT applications are still being processed daily. Please scan and email the application with department approval to fei.yu@wright.edu. After it is processed, we will mail the I-20 to you.
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 from the change:
1. When you start a new job.
2. When you change addresses.
3. Periods of unemployment.
4. 6-month validation (You can email fei.yu@wright.edu after you update your employment information and residential address through SEVP Portal)
Can I travel back to my home country during OPT period?
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.
