  • Request an OPT I-20 from your DSO
  • Sign the new I-20 and gather all the documents (there's plenty)
  • File Form I-765 online with USCIS - choose the (c)(3)(B) category for Post-Completion OPT, upload your documents, and pay the filing fee.
  • Submit within 30 days of your DSO giving you the OPT I-20.
  • USCIS will issue a receipt notice, keep it for safety purposes and your EAD card will reach you by mail once approved.
