Eastman students: If you’re an Eastman School of Music student, please use our Eastman Reporting Form instead.
Instructions for reporting form
- ISO will update SEVIS: After we receive the completed form, we will update your SEVIS record for you. If the information you provide is incomplete or inaccurate, it will delay your required SEVIS reporting.
- Reporting window: ISO has a 21-day reporting window after receiving your completed form to update your SEVIS record. You’ll receive an email confirmation when the information has been processed in SEVIS.
- Residential address: If you’re only reporting your residential address information, please type “N/A” in all fields related to employment.
- New employment details or edits: To add new employment details or edit your current employment, please use the Report Employment Include employer details (name, address, start date, and time status). Also include a detailed description of how this particular job or activity is related to the field of study (Major 1 and/or Major 2) listed on your I-20. This is a requirement of all F-1 OPT employment.
- End of employment: If you previously submitted employment information to ISO and want to report the end of that employment, use the Report End of Employment section when you leave that position.
- Changing employers: If you’re changing employers, please use both sections of the form to submit all relevant information at once.
