The I-765 form here can be filled-in as an Adobe Acrobat form using your computer. You may also print the form and type the information in. Alternatively, you may obtain forms and complete them at your OPT appointment. Most of the questions on this form are easy to answer. If you are unsure how to answer a question, it is better to leave it blank until you meet with your HIO advisor.

Here are some tips for answering particular questions (listed by number) on form I-765:

  1. Your name as it appears on your form I-20. Use UPPER-CASE (capitol) letters
    (last name/ first name / middle names)
  2. Leave blank until your HIO appointment
  3. Your private address, IF you will be receiving mail there for the next 3-4 months. If not, leave blank until your appointment
  4. As written on your form I-20
  5. (self explanatory)
  6. (self explanatory)
  7. (self explanatory)
  8. (self explanatory)
  9. Leave blank if you do not yet have a number. Although a social security number is not required as part of the OPT process, you should apply for a social security number as soon as possible. Go to the HIO for the application form and student social security letter.
  10. Your I-94 card number (11 digits) found in the top left side of small white card attached to your passport. If there is a hand-written number on the card, use this number, not the pre-printed one.
  11. Leave blank if you are unsure. Check "no" if you have never applied for F-1 OPT before. Check "yes" if you have applied for OPT and fill-in the form using the dates on the back of the I-20 you used for that application. The immigration service center serving the northeast is VSC (Vermont Service Center)
  12. Leave blank if unsure. For students who entered the US with the F-1 visa, the answer will be on the I-94 card stapled in the passport (small white card with red ink stamp). Use the date stamped on the I-94 card, even if in some cases (especially with travel to and from Canada) you may have had a more recent entry to the U.S.
  13. Also on the I-94 card. As with #12, the location stamped, may not have been the actual place of most recent entry. The place is often written in three letter abbreviations "BOS" (Boston) "SFR" (San Francisco). You are permitted to answer the question in general terms, such as  "from Canada."
  14. If your I-94 card says "F-1", write "student" or "F-1". If not, leave blank until you meet with your HIO advisor
  15. Write "student" or "F-1"
  16. This version of the form has been pre-completed with OPT category.
