My OPT is expiring soon. Received an offer for Amazon program for new grad but the start date is after my opt expiration date. Will Amazon help me file for STEM OPT (form i983 to be exact) before I even work for them, or that's a no go? Appreciate all the help I can get! #amazon #amazonaws #stemopt #tech
I was in kind of same situation. But I started a week before my OPT expiration.
And your i9 was verified despite having only a week left? Did you start your stem extension right away after starting with them then?
I started it before joining. Recruiter helped me connect with my manager. I got it signed before joining.
I am going through the same process. Ask your manager to help you fill out the form. My manager helped me fill out the i983. You then submitted the form to your ISSS, and they will issue you a new I-20.
THANK YOU!! this was a big opportunity for me so was freaking out a bit since I know a lot of companies don't wanna deal with OPT and what not. now I can finally breathe
What are you planning to use for i9 verify? the receipt of pending extension?
Can you start early? Reach out to the recruiter.
Already signed the offer so I doubt they will accept my change :( plus the program is particular so I think start date is firm
They can generate a new offer letter with changed date or else apply with the current company and make changes later.
