Before you start · guidance and limitations
Track the dates that matter
Add your OPT start date and each employment period so you can see a clear planning estimate. Save supporting records separately and report updates through the process required by your school.
Use the 90-day limit carefully
Post-completion OPT has a 90-day unemployment limit. This tool is a planning aid, not an official status determination, so confirm how your employment qualifies and any reporting deadlines with your DSO.
