Appointing Employees who are on OPT or Academic Training
Appointing
Individuals that have OPT Authorization
A department at The University of Texas at Austin may invite internationals
with a valid F-1 OPT status to work for them. The EAD card and I-20
are used to verify this work authorization.
ISSS needs to monitor the J-1 A/T employees hired by the various
departments. Therefore, as the employee is filling out the I-9 and
other new employee paperwork, ask him/her to stop by ISSS with his/her immigration documents.
The employee should bring the following to the International
Office:
- Passport
- EAD (work
card)
- Current
I-20.

Upon submission of the documents by the employee, the Immigration
Employment Specialist will:

immigration and work authorization documents
- Set up
an international employment file
- Eenter the
new employee’s information into the International Student
& Scholar Services database.
If the international employee was previously working for the
department in a student classification, the former student must
still present the immigration and work authorization documents to
ISSS. Then, the Faculty and Scholar Advisor will set up the international employment
file and enter the employee in the ISSS database.
