STEM extension - Employer needs a proof of 180 days extension

[[email protected]]

Hi,

I have applied for my OPT extension last month and haven't received a decision so far. My current OPT expires next week. My employer has asked me for my extension to which I sent him the link of the USCIS website where it states the candidate receives an extension of employment authorization after their current employment authorization expires, but for no more than 180days.
My employer is now asking if I had received it ? I am not really sure if USCIS actually mails a card or something ?
1. Will there a new card sent in the mail ?
2. If my employer asks me to stop working, would it add up to my unemployment days ?

Please suggest !

There is an I-797C , notice of action receipt you should be getting within 15-20 days of your application being accepted by USCIS. You need to provide this receipt to your employer as proof. You can also call and obtain your case number from USCIS, but not all employers will accept just the case number, they may still need to see the I-797C receipt.

As stated by Shivprasad - Your I797-C Notice of action is the proof. Retain the original with you and provide a copy of the same to your employer....

Hi , You can continue working for 180 days. Show receipt notice to your Employer and USCIS link you already sent. These 2 should be sufficient to inform your Employer that you can work for 180 days once OPT expires. You will get card only when your Stem approves .

Hey buddy u can continue to work upto 180 days if your application is still pending so u should have the receipt i797c as a proof to work and if your employer asks you to stop working yes it will come under count of unemployment days so don't worry keep going ask your employer to check on the uscis website .
