Opt extension

[Ravikiran]

Hi

My first OPT 12 month period is going to complete on Jun 20th and my employer is an IT Conusltancy and now that i dont have a job he said he is not going to sign the I-983 form , but somehow i tried and got an internship in a company and they said they will fill the I-983 form.

My question is can we change employer while on OPT ?
If at all my OPT extension is rejected is there any grace period or what are the consequences if OPT stem extension is rejected ?

You can definitely change jobs while you are on OPT. If your OPT is rejected or denied, you will still have the normal 60-day grace period. Check with your DSO.

1. Yes you can.
2. 2 months grace period after you get the rejection.

You can change job on opt. Just need to inform your school dso when you change job. Also, take letter from your previous employer which would describe your work there and the time you were with that employer - this will help in showing anyone the proof that you are maintain your status.
