ISSS STEM OPT Application Is Moving to MyISSS

Posted on:

We are pleased to announce that we have moved our STEM OPT application and reporting process into MyISSS. We have also launched a STEM OPT Online Workshop that all applicants must complete before submitting their STEM I-20 application to ISSS. This Canvas course includes information about the STEM timeline, application process, and reporting requirements. This means:

  • STEM OPT applicants will submit the I-20 applications in MyISSS. After ISSS issues your new I-20, you will then submit it and your other application materials to USCIS.
  • STEM OPT recipients will use MyISSS to submit the required updates and reports (validation reports, annual self-evaluations, and changes to employment).

Do you have questions? Please complete the STEM OPT Online workshop and then contact an ISSS Advisor.
