Hi everyone,
I just received an RFE letter for my OPT STEM extension asking for the following:
Employment History
1. Letter from employer establishing job title, duties, location, pay rate, and number of hours to be worked per week,
2. Copies of your earning statements/ pay stubs,
3. Copies of your W-2
4. Signed copies of job offer letters/contracts.
If you worked for an employment agency or a consultancy, you must provide evidence of the jobs you worked on and dates worked. Additionally, if you worked remotely, please notate such in your employment history.
————————–
My situation is that my initial OPT started from 07/14/2014, I worked for a company A as an unpaid intern remotely from another city during the period of 09/02/2014 and 04/27/2015, and I have been working for another company B full time since 05/04/2015. After researching online, I’m worried about my first unpaid internship may cause denial because I read somewhere that unpaid internship needs to be training programs. I have the offer letter and employment verification letter from company A saying that my job title there is consultant and that is an unpaid internship with 25 work hours per week. The job is mostly completing assignments from my supervisor with her instruction. The employment verification letter from company A has start/end date, job title, work hours per week, job duties, one brief sentence about my degree and job related to my filed and a few words mentioning working remotely in it. Is that enough or do I need more details? Do I need to ask for another letter saying something about training? As for company B, I have offer letter, employment verification letter and earning statements but I do not have W-2. Do I need to get an attorney for this?
Thanks in advance!
