My F1 opt expires on 7/7. I'm currently on a focus plan and will be PIPed by the end of the this month. Luckily I have a job offer with a start date of July 15th. I will need to move from f1 opt to stem opt at that time.

I have to apply for my STEM OPT extension now and this needs my employer to sign the i983 form. If i move to the new company, ill have to get thw i983 filled by the new manager and get a new i20. Uscis has long processing times and it is recommended that we don't change companies when the application is under process. I might be unemployed in the first week of May. #amazonpip #amazon #stemopt

Any suggestions on how I can handle thus situation ?

  • Get your I983 from new employer. Get I20 and file stem extension.
    It’s definitely possible to change emplyers while stem application is under process. I did it last year
