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.
