OPT and STEM Portal

F-1 OPT regulations require you to report information to the GW International Services Office (ISO) on your post-completion OPT and STEM activities within 10 days of beginning your activities and within 10 days of any change in your activities. This includes reporting specific address, employment, and unemployment information. When you report this information to the ISO, we will send it to the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) so that we can help you maintain lawful F-1 status while you are under GW visa/immigration sponsorship.
