    STEM OPT Extension:
    If you are in a qualifying STEM field, your advisor can assist with the 24-month STEM OPT extension. They’ll help you to understand reporting requirements and employer obligations during the extension period.

    SEVIS Updates and Reporting Compliance:
    Your advisor willanswer questions to ensure your employment information is properly reflected in SEVIS and guide you through the reporting process. This includes employer updates, job descriptions, material changes to your training, and regular validation reports during OPT and STEM OPT.


    In short, your Practical Training Advisor is a key resource to help you understand work authorization, navigate OPT and STEM OPT, and maintain your legal status while gaining professional experience in the U.S.
