When should I apply for OPT?

You can apply for OPT up to 90 days before your program end date and up to 60 days after. However, processing times with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) can be lengthy, so it is highly recommended to apply as early as possible.

Where can I get help with the visa and OPT process?

EKU’s International Student Services (ISS) office is the primary resource. They provide dedicated advisors who guide international students through the OPT application process, from understanding eligibility to helping complete the required paperwork and forms correctly.
