Your OPT request has been approved. As the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) has stated that digital I-20s will be permanently recognized, your OPT Request I-20 has been issued to you as a PDF file. Please find attached also a copy of your SEVIS Employment Information sheet.*
Make sure to print and hand-sign in blue or black ink the "student attestation" section of the attached I-20 and make a single-sided, black and white copy of it to mail to USCIS for your OPT application if you will apply by mail. If you are e-filing (myUSCIS account registration required for first-time e-filers) scan your hand-signed I-20 afterwards to upload to your online I-765 application.
You won’t receive one if you have never been authorized for CPT or OPT prior to this application. If you have previously been authorized for CPT and/or OPT under a different SEVIS ID, it is your responsibility to gather documentation relating to those CPTs and OPTS and provide them according to the application filing method chosen (see end of section on Form I-765 Corrections for e-filing evidence submission procedure).Anchor * *
