Your authorization to engage in OPT employment is automatically terminated when you transfer to another school.
Apply early. DHS can take more than 90 days to process your OPT application. An F-1 student is only allowed to remain in the United States for a maximum of 14 months after the completion of his/her course of study.
If DHS takes more than 90 days to process your application you may apply for a temporary Employment Authorization Document (EAD) at the local DHS office. Please contact the Office of International Students and Scholars for information on how to do this.
Do not begin employment until you have received your EAD or until the beginning date on your EAD if you receive your card early.
Do not move while your OPT application is being processed with DHS. They WILL NOT forward your EAD even if you have a forwarding request with the post office.
Do not travel outside of the United States while your application is being processed.
If you need to travel outside the United States after you have graduated you are required to take your I-20 signed on the back within the last 6 months, your EAD, and proof that you have a job in the US when you seek to reenter. If you travel outside the United States before you have found a job under OPT you may be denied reentry.
Make sure you keep your receipt. DHS will send you a receipt once they receive your application. The receipt contains a LIN number that you can use to track your application. You can track the status of your case on-line at https://egov.immigration.gov/graphics/cris/jsps/caseStat.jsp
