Forget to Update OPT (10 Days Rule)

The first person you should have contacted about this is your Designated School Official. She/He would be the one best able to assist you.

Dude I hate when I get swamped with lots of stuffs.

me too

Hi I am in the same position where I didn't realize I would have to report to school regarding the change in employment. I am contacting my school tomorrow. Were you able to figure it out? Any information would be really appreciated. Thanks so much!

I am in thesame situation did the dso help?

What happened? Wat did the DSO tell you? I am also in a similar situation

me too! Have you guys heard anything from? My school says it would probably be OK as long as I have evidence to show that I am not unemployed for more than 90 days (pay stubs etc....)

I was in the same situation, but my DSO was pretty chill about it. I think you should be fine as long as you update. I would check with your DSO to make sure.

Hey did any of you guys get a resolution on this? Was everything ok? Having the same issue...

i am in the same situation, can anyone tell me what happened? i am really worried , i forgot to report the employer change? did it cause a problem ?? Please let me know..

Hello Guys! Did any one got a solution for the same.

Don't worry about it, nothing bad will happen...

"leslier" Hi all,

I forgot to update my employment status on my school's OPT update website. The rule says that I have to let the school know within 10 days of any changes regarding my employment status. I have been swamped with so many stuffs that I simply forgot to do that.

What should I do now? How will this affect me when I applyf for H1B next year? Has anyone heard or encountered this situation before? What do schools do when they received employment updates from post-completion OPT students? Do they report it to the govt?

Thanks a lot!

This may be one of the worst threads ever
