TrackMyOPT

TrackMyOPT is a Chrome extension and connected web dashboard for F-1 international students and graduates. Track Optional Practical Training (OPT) and STEM OPT timelines, follow unemployment days, prepare resumes and organize your job search in one connected workspace. Use the extension for timeline tools, saved case status and application prefill in Chrome. Open the web dashboard for detailed case tracking, career tools, documents and student resources. An account is required; some features require a paid plan. PLAN YOUR OPT & STEM OPT JOURNEY • OPT filing dates: explore your filing window using the program and recommendation dates you save. • OPT Clock: track unemployment days with your OPT start date and employment history. • STEM OPT filing dates: organize your extension timeline around your saved OPT and STEM information. • STEM Clock: follow your employment timeline across OPT and STEM, including earlier OPT history. • OPT Dates & Timeline: manage your dates in the web dashboard and use them with the extension's connected tools. • USCIS case tracking: view your saved case status from the extension and open the dashboard for case details. Automatic checks and email alerts depend on your plan. • Reminders: use dashboard reminder settings to keep relevant dates and updates in view. Availability depends on your plan and settings. PREPARE FOR YOUR NEXT ROLE • AI resumes and templates: prepare a job-specific resume from your experience and the job description, choose a template, and review the result before using it. The dashboard provides resume editing and saved resumes. • Job-fit and applicant tracking system (ATS) review: compare your resume with a role, identify keyword gaps, and review suggested improvements. Scores and suggestions are guidance, not hiring predictions. • Screening answers and cover letters: draft responses grounded in your resume and the current role. Review facts, tone and wording before using AI output. • Job tracker: save a posting's company, role, link and available details from Chrome, then manage application stages in the dashboard. The assistant can recognize an existing saved job and record a recognized application result. • H-1B sponsor research: explore employer sponsorship information in the web dashboard. Past sponsorship does not guarantee sponsorship for a current opening. • Networking: use the dashboard to research relevant contacts, find available work email addresses and prepare outreach for your review. LESS REPETITION IN YOUR BROWSER • Application profile: save contact details and job-portal prefill information once, then reuse them on supported forms. • Smart Prefill: fill supported empty fields with your saved profile and the resume prepared for that job. Existing filled fields and uploaded files stay in place; unsupported controls may remain blank. • Step-by-step or Continuous filling: choose when to fill, or reuse loaded answers across supported steps of the same application where your plan allows it. • Guided Autopilot: opt in to supported non-final step progression, with pauses for review. TrackMyOPT never submits a job application for you. • Optional saved answers and portal login: reuse saved private application answers and, if configured, a default portal login when you click Prefill. See the information controls below. YOUR CONNECTED STUDENT DASHBOARD These tools open in the TrackMyOPT web dashboard; they are not all embedded in the Chrome popup: • Document Vault: organize immigration documents and use available document-analysis tools. • Health Insurance Finder: explore student and OPT insurance resources and available options. • Tax Filing Assistant: review student tax resources and guidance based on the information you provide. • Student offers: browse available discounts and partner offers. Offers and eligibility can change. GET STARTED 1. Install TrackMyOPT and sign in to your TrackMyOPT account. 2. Add accurate OPT/STEM dates and employment history for your timeline tools.

TrackMyOPT is for F-1 international students and graduates planning practical training, managing their employment timeline and organizing their job search. Can I track OPT unemployment days? Yes. The OPT Clock and STEM Clock use the start dates and employment history you enter. Results depend on accurate, complete information; confirm your situation with your designated school official (DSO). Does everything run inside the extension? No. The extension provides OPT/STEM tools, a case-status shortcut and in-browser application assistance. Your connected web dashboard provides the broader career, document and student-resource workspace. Does TrackMyOPT automatically apply to jobs? No. You review and submit applications yourself. Guided Autopilot may advance supported non-final steps, but stops before final application actions. Which job applications can I prefill? Prefill works with supported fields on job boards, employer career pages and application systems. Support varies by site and form; existing filled fields stay unchanged, and unsupported controls may remain blank. Do I need an account or paid plan? A TrackMyOPT account is required. Feature access, AI usage, automation and monitoring limits depend on your plan. Supported sites and form behavior vary. Check current plan details at https://www.trackmyopt.com/pricing.
