FOR CURRENT STUDENTS
Pre-Departure Information Form – 2011
(Seniors, AMS, Graduate Students)

USCIS has implemented new regulations which require colleges to report address and employer information for everyone doing OPT.   Students on OPT will be required to report their initial OPT Employer address and personal address to this office as soon as they know. Any changes in address and/or employer during the OPT period should also be reported to our office within 10 days of the change.  In turn we will update your information in SEVIS.

Taxes: Our office is also going to send you the tax forms and the Cintax link and password the year after you graduate from Smith so that you can file your taxes. This request is for everyone including students on OPT, Graduate school or at home. If you want any monies which were held from you to be sent by IRS, please give us your address and/or permanent Email after graduation. Tax forms will be sent in February/March of 2012.

Please complete all the information on this form and submit it back to us no later than Friday, May 6, 2011.
