OPT filings are simple until a date is wrong. Lexfill walks the student through the I-765, collects the DSO-endorsed I-20 and supporting documents, and checks the windows — so the application goes out right inside the deadline.
Students answer fast and make small mistakes — a swapped date, a stale I-20. Lexfill structures the intake and cross-checks the record so the small mistakes never reach USCIS.
The student answers one plain question at a time — program, SEVIS number, requested employment dates — on their phone, in minutes. The OPT pathway asks exactly what the (c)(3)(B) category needs.
The DSO-endorsed I-20 is the heart of the filing. Lexfill collects it with the passport, I-94, and photo, reads the program dates and SEVIS number, and the attorney verifies each document before it counts.
The finished I-765 is a filled, review-ready PDF with the student's details landed from the intake and the I-20 — proofed page by page before it ships.
Lexfill cross-checks the requested employment dates against the I-20's program end date and the record's other dates, and flags anything off — in plain English, while there's still time to fix it.
F-1 students may apply for post-completion Optional Practical Training work authorization under category (c)(3)(B) by filing Form I-765 with a DSO-endorsed Form I-20. Lexfill runs an OPT-specific intake and fills the I-765 for attorney review.
Lexfill's checklist covers the I-20 with the DSO's OPT recommendation, passport, Form I-94 record, a passport-style photo, and — where applicable — the F-1 visa stamp and any prior EAD. Each upload is AI-identified and attorney-verified.
Lexfill flags date signals it can read from the record — like a requested start date that falls outside the post-completion window on the I-20 — in plain English for the attorney to confirm. The attorney always makes the timing call.
Most students finish in one sitting — the OPT pathway is short and every question is plain-language. They can pause and resume from the same link anytime.
