SEVP announced the development of the OPT Employment Compliance Unit that will be dedicated full time to compliance matters involving wage, hours, and compensation within OPT, the OPT extension, and CPT. The unit will also publish an annual report on the impact of OPT programs on U.S. workers.
SEVP reminded educational institutions that they must update employer information for students on OPT in SEVIS. In 2020, SEVP sent notices to students who failed to report employment and will continue to identify improperly maintained SEVIS records and notify institutions and individuals as needed.
