yes if you are on 12 month opt then you can update your status with your school as "voluntarily working without any compensation" . But on 17 month opt you need to work with e-verified employer with minimum pay $7.25/hour
You just need to submit your offer letter of company within 3 months of your OPT. None of their (DSO) business weather it's paid or unpaid...OPT means Optional Practical Training. In OPT period , you have officially work authorization to work in US. Once your OPT will start, your time will be started to work legally. Now,it's up to you when you start your paid or unpaid internship. Good Luck for your Internship..
You need to complete an online form that will update your records. You don't need to submit any documents just update your employer name, address, phone number and position. I updated that with my international office and it got updated at Dept of homeland
I just realized that my internship work agreement says that the relationship of both parties is that of independent contractors not employer/employee...does it matter? FYI, I haven't signed that agreement yet.
