Hi all,
My wife is applying for STEM OPT but her employer has no experience dealing with it so is afraid to sign. And thinks that its a sponsorship. I dont know how to convince them its not a sponsorship and is a straightforward process. My wife is at risk of losing job and leaving country. Any advice? We are going through a lot of stress.

Thank you

    Even my company consulted their lawyer before signing it. Its just if they don’t do it even after lawyer says so they are just looking for a reason to let her go.

      So there should be no reason for not listening to lawyer. Unless of course they know more than lawyers.

    Have the school's official talk to her employer. They can typically resolve such misconceptions easily. Alternative is to retain an immigration lawyer and ask them to have a chat with the employer

    School has to manage it, not an employer

    Doesn't she have 90 day to find a new gig?? Convince them if not switch. OPT you can even work 2 jobs at a time.
