Dear international seniors,
I am writing to let you know that we just added additional resources on the OISA website to help F-1 students who are applying for their one-year post-completion Optional Practical Training (OPT) based on the feedback we received from you.
Here are the links:
- General OPT information on the OISA website
- A step-by-Step guide to complete Form I-765: This is basically a written version of the I-765 workshop. You should also consult with the official instructions for Form I-765 from USCIS if you have questions.
- Information about how to fill out a money order for your OPT fees
- Checklist/procedure for filing your OPT application: This document includes a sample cover letter you can use. You will also find the “Missing I-20 Letter template” helpful if you cannot locate your old I-20s.
If you need help with your Form I-765, please visit us during the drop-in hours. We can also proofread your Form I-765 for you once. Please send a copy of your completed I-765 to oisa@wesleyan.edu. We will get back to you in 7-10 business days.
Please note that you need to submit your OPT request via the ISS Portal. Directions for how to submit all your documents are listed on here.
Feel free to reach out if you have additional questions. Good luck with your application!
