How should a student report employment during OPT?

If you need to report a new employer or update your employment information, complete the Add New Employer or Update Current OPT Employer Information form in the F-1 Practical Training menu. Once reported, ISSS will issue a new Form I-20 that will contain a travel signature valid for 6 months from the date of update.

What if I forgot to report STEM OPT employment within 10 days?
