The OPT Clock
Dates, Days & Deadlines Tracker
Know your dates, count your days, and report on time, so your search never outruns your status.
On OPT, a job search also runs on dates: when you can file, when you can start, how many days you can be unemployed and when changes must be reported. This companion to Beyond OPT keeps them in one place so you can plan instead of worry.
