Off campus employment workshops
For those of you completing all degree requirements this fall, December 15 2012 will be your completion date. If you would like to start your post-completion OPT application advisors suggest doing so around 09/16/2012 since processing can take between 30-90 days before you will get your EAD card from Immigration. You have between now (Immigration allows students to send completed post completion OPT applications 90 days before their expected completion date) and 60 days after you complete your degree requirements 02/13/2013 to send a complete OPT application if you will be applying for the OPT benefit. OPT is OPTIONAL and not mandatory but is one option students have after completing a degree.
Immigration must receive a completed application and issue you are receipt by the end of your grace period so the latest you should send an application is 01/20/2013
(if you are completing all degree requirements in December and plan to apply for OPT).
(if you are completing all degree requirements in December and plan to apply for OPT).
