Properly Completing the I-765

The Form I-765 is the USCIS form used when applying for OPT. Although International Center advisors cannot prepare the application form on your behalf, we do offer a guide to completing the I-765 for Post-completion OPT.

It is possible to file your I-765 online with USCIS or by mailing a paper form. The International Center highly recommends you submit the I-765 online.

We also recommend that you review the USCIS Instructions for Form I-765.
