Town Hall for Current OPT Participants about F-1 Student Rule Changes
This town hall is for current F-1 individuals participating in Optional Practical Training (OPT). This includes those on Post-OPT and STEM OPT. Recent changes to federal immigration regulations may affect your immigration status while participating in OPT. Join the ISSC for an overview of these changes, what they may mean for your employment authorization and immigration status, and the steps you should take to remain in compliance. The session will include a presentation followed by time for questions and answers, as time permits.
Attendance is limited to the first 500 participants. This town hall is NOT for current degree seeking F-1/J-1 ASU students.
Note: You must register for this Town Hall using your ASUrite email address.
