Dear Stakeholder,
The Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (CIS Ombudsman) is sending this message to inform you that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced certain flexibilities for foreign students (F-1 nonimmigrants) affected by delayed receipt notices for Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization for Optional Practical Training (OPT).
14-month Post-Completion OPT Flexibilities
After completion of the academic program, the F-1 student may be granted up to 12 months of OPT. This OPT must be completed within 14 months of the end of the academic program. Delays at USCIS lockbox facilities may have prevented some applicants from accessing their entire OPT allowance within that 14-month period. Therefore, USCIS announced it will allow the 14-month period to commence from the date of approval of the Form I-765 as opposed to completion of the academic program. Within that 14 month window, USCIS will approve Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) for OPT for the length of time originally recommended by the Designated School Official (DSO) on the Form I-20, Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status. F-1 students requesting OPT who receive approval for less than the full amount of OPT time requested (not to exceed 12 months) may request a correction of the EAD due to USCIS error. USCIS said it will then issue a corrected EAD with a new end date to cover the full amount of OPT time recommended by the DSO on Form I-20.
Refiling Following Rejection
Due to delays at the USCIS lockbox facilities, some applicants who filed Form I-765 for OPT in a timely manner, but had their applications rejected, were unable to refile within the required application timeframes. USCIS announced it will accept a refiled Form I-765 for post-completion OPT, or a re-filed I-765 for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) OPT, if the original application was timely filed between October 1, 2020 and May 1, 2021. Refiled applications must be received by May 31, 2021 for USCIS to treat the application as if it was filed on the original received date. Applicants refiling Form I-765 should include a copy of the USCIS rejection notice. Applicants do not need to obtain a new Form I-20 with an updated OPT recommendation from the DSO, as long as they originally submitted an application for post-completion OPT within 30 days of the DSO’s recommendation, or an application for STEM OPT within 60 days of the DSO’s recommendation, as required by the regulations.
Missing or Deficient Signatures
The lockbox will generally reject a Form I-765 for OPT or STEM OPT with a missing or deficient signature. If, however, the lockbox has accepted an application containing a deficient or missing signature, USCIS indicated it will issue a Request for Evidence rather than deny the application. This will provide the applicant the opportunity to respond and supply the necessary signature or correct the signature deficiency. USCIS encourages applicants filing Form I-765 to review the form instructions on its website to ensure completeness before filing.
Background
The CIS Ombudsman provided informal recommendations to USCIS regarding lockbox delays in issuing receipt notices for Forms I-765 and communicated the significant adverse impact on nonimmigrant students. USCIS indicated these delays were caused by various factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic; a rise in cases for certain benefit requests at some lockbox facilities; an increase in mail volume; and delays at the U.S. Postal Service. USCIS requested that applicants wait at least eight weeks before contacting the agency to inquire about missing receipt notices. The CIS Ombudsman recognizes that USCIS has made progress in addressing these issues and is pleased that the agency has also implemented the above-mentioned flexibilities.
More Information
Please refer to the USCIS website for additional information related to Optional Practical Training for F-1 Students and instructions to file Form I-765.
The CIS Ombudsman is committed to meeting with stakeholders and USCIS to address further concerns regarding the impact of delayed receipt notices.
Additional updates on this topic will be shared by the CIS Ombudsman as appropriate. For more information on our office, please visit our website.

Whenever I teach clinical medicine to students in the fourth year of medicine, I ask the following question:
What are the causes of mental confusion in the elderly?
Some offer: “Tumors in the head”. I answer: No!
Others suggest: “Early symptoms of Alzheimer’s”. I answer again: No!
With each rejection of their answers, their responses dry up.
And they are even more open-mouthed when I list the three most common causes:
– uncontrolled diabetes
– urinary infection
– dehydration
It may sound like a joke, but it isn’t. People over 60 generally stop feeling thirsty and consequently stop drinking fluids.
When no one is around to remind them to drink fluids, they quickly dehydrate. Dehydration is severe and affects the entire body It may cause abrupt mental confusion, a drop in blood pressure, increased heart palpitations, angina (chest pain), coma and even death.
*This habit of forgetting to drink fluids begins at age 60, when we have just over 50% of the water we should have in our bodies. People over 60 have a lower water reserve. This is part of the natural aging process.*
But there are more complications. Although they are dehydrated, they don’t feel like drinking water, because their internal balance mechanisms don’t work very well.
*Conclusion:*
People over 60 years old dehydrate easily, not only because they have a smaller water supply, but also because they do not feel the lack of water in the body.
Although people over 60 may look healthy, the performance of reactions and chemical functions can damage their entire body.
So here are two alerts:
1) *Get into the habit of drinking liquids*. Liquids include water, juices, teas, coconut water, milk, soups, and water-rich fruits, such as watermelon, melon, peaches and pineapple; Orange and tangerine also work.
*The important thing is that, every two hours, you must drink some liquid. Remember this!*
2) Alert for family members: constantly offer fluids to people over age 60. At the same time, observe them.
If you realize that they are rejecting liquids and, from one day to the next, they are irritable, breathless or display a lack of attention, these are almost certainly recurrent symptoms of dehydration.
Inspired to drink more water now?? Send this information out to others! DO IT NOW! Your friends and family need to know for themselves and help you to be healthier and happier.
It’s good to share! *For people over 60*

Following the Race start from Lorient, France, at the end of May, the inaugural edition of The Ocean Race Europe will stop in Cascais, bringing the top international offshore racing teams in the world to Portugal.
Located 30km west of Lisbon, Cascais is a historic and cosmopolitan seaside resort on the edge of the Tagus estuary, between the Sintra mountains and the Atlantic Ocean.
The Ocean Race Europe will feature the record-breaking, one-design, VO65 fleet which produced the closest edition of The Ocean Race in history in 2017-18. The teams are seeing the event as the first step on their journey towards the next edition of the around the world race in 2022-23.
And for the first time, the foiling IMOCA fleet will participate in a competition under The Ocean Race banner. The IMOCA teams bring a high-tech component to the event, showcasing the latest foiling technology.
“The Ocean Race Europe will surely provide us with great competition on the water. But it is also an opportunity for our wonderful sport to inspire towards a greater purpose,” said Richard Brisius, the Race Chairman of The Ocean Race. “We are united in driving action towards the promotion of ocean health and we look forward to working on this with all of our friends and partners in Cascais when we are in Portugal this June.”
The home team in Cascais, the Mirpuri Foundation Racing Team, was the first VO65 team to confirm its entry in the European race back in January and The Mirpuri Foundation will host the event from its training base at the Clube Naval de Cascais.
Paulo Mirpuri is the Founder of the Mirpuri Foundation, which has been a driving force in bringing The Ocean Race Europe to Cascais. He said: “We are proud to welcome The Ocean Race Europe to Cascais and to host the stopover in our home port with our friends at Clube Naval de Cascais. This is the first time that an Ocean Race event has come to Cascais, having come to Lisbon in the past.
“Today’s announcement is the culmination of an enormous amount of work from many different parties. We have worked hard with the organisers of the race to bring The Ocean Race Europe to Cascais, our home, and we will have many more developments to share very soon. This will be a spectacular race after a difficult year for so many people and we cannot wait to welcome the fleet to Portugal.”
Cascais is known as ‘The Charm of the Atlantic’ and provides direct access to a prime racing playground just off the main beach and the Cascais Marina area.
“Cascais is very proud to be one of the cities chosen to become a stopover for The Ocean Race Europe,” said Deputy Mayor Miguel Pinto Luz. “Sailing is a part of our identity and hosting the best regattas in the world is now a tradition here. We consider Cascais the best place to live – for one day or for a lifetime. And if you are a sailor, this is paradise… one of the best regatta locations in the world, in front of our beautiful Bay.”
Yoann Richomme, Skipper of the Mirpuri Foundation Racing Team agrees, saying: “It will be an honour to lead ‘Racing For The Planet’ and our crew out from my home in Lorient and into our home port of Cascais this spring, a place we have seen many times from our boat, but never surrounded by such an incredible fleet. It will be a wonderful occasion for everyone involved. There is no doubt, The Mirpuri Foundation’s passion for sailing will be felt by everyone.”
The Ocean Race Europe will start from Lorient, France, over the final weekend of May, bringing the teams south across the Bay of Biscay, into the Atlantic and the stop in Cascais. From there the two fleets will race into the Mediterranean. The Ocean Race Europe will finish in Genova, Italy in the third week of June, with a further stop along the route in the Med to be confirmed shortly.
