Forget to Update OPT (10 Days Rule)
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!
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 think this is correct.. Besides.. if you read the actual legal language it basically says that you MAY be subjected to whatever, not that you CERTAINLY WILL... so i don't think you will be deported for the the singular crime of not updating that info on time.. That said it is always better to do it at the earliest..
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..
