Changing Employers

Any change in employment must be reported within 10 days of the change. Please read below what is required for reporting employment changes while on STEM OPT.

Congratulations on the new job!

When you end employment on STEM OPT, you must provide us with the I-983 Training Plan page 5 final evaluation page from that employer. 

When you add new employment, you must provide us with a new I-983 Training Plan completed by you and the new employer and also a new letter from the employer on company letterhead including all of the following: 

Please also include the last day of employment with the original employer and the first day of employment with the new employer. We will need these documents before a new I-20 can be issued with the new employment information.

Again, any change in employment must be reported within 10 days of the change.
