Please note: In addition to meeting all scheduled reporting requirements, each STEM OPT student must submit a new I-983 to their DSO in order to report any material changes to, or material deviations from, the student's formal training plan. Updates made in the SEVP Portal alone do not satisfy the regulatory reporting requirements. More information about what is considered a "material change" can be found in our FAQ.
