🚨 URGENT: STEM OPT Reporting Updates
Hi there,
Our automated scanners detected a change on the USCIS website regarding STEM OPT Validation Reporting procedures late last night.
Critical Change: Students are now required to upload Form I-983 directly to the SEVP portal for their 12-month evaluation. Previously, this was only emailed to the DSO.
What this means for you:
- If your 12-month validation is due this month, you must create a portal account immediately if you haven't.
- Failure to report within 10 days of the due date may result in automatic SEVIS termination.
We have attached a step-by-step PDF guide on how to navigate the new portal interface below.
