Form I-765 Brandeis Supplemental Instructions

The Form I-765 Application for Employment Authorization is required for students applying for Optional Practical Training (OPT) and STEM OPT.  To complete the form, students must follow the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) instructions for completing Form I-765.

In addition to the USCIS Instructions, we have the Form I-765 Brandeis Supplemental Instructions to guide you. These instructions correspond to the mail-in application. If you are applying online, follow the intructions in your USCIS account.
