Updating OPT Information

Students reporting updates to their employment information must:

  • log into their SEVP Portal and provide all of the necessary information pertaining to their updated employment,
  • log into their Terra Dotta record to request an I-20 Reprint,
  • select Update from the drop-down menu in #1 (be sure to provide a brief explanation),
  • and finally click "Update" to submit the request to ISS for processing.

VISA Office staff members receive notifications when students submit updates and process them in a timely manner.  Staff members will only contact students regarding their update if they have questions or concerns. If a student does not receive any notification from a VISA Office staff member, it is safe to assume that the update is being processed successfully. 

Students will be notified by email when their new I-20, containing updated employment information and a valid travel signature, is ready.  It generally takes 5-7 business days for a new I-20 to be prepared.

If you are unable to log into Terra Dotta, please email visa@case.edu and indicate that you are a student on OPT who cannot log in to submit an update.
