Due to a lawsuit filed against USCIS, the fee increase for the OPT application (I-765) has been temporarily halted. If you are preparing your OPT application for submission in the next few days, the fee will remain at $410. Please use the I-765 form with the 08/25/2020 date in the lower left hand corner.

We do not know how long this hold will be in effect so please prepare your OPT application as soon as possible.
