Nagesh D Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hi, I got an RFE for my OPT extension and the letter reads For USCIS to approve your ©(03)© OPT STEM Extension application , you must submit evidence of your employment history proving you have not accrued more than 90 days of unemployment. Such evidence should include: 1. Copies of Job Offers and agreements/contracts with all OPT employers with start date and end date. 2. Statement from employers attesting your employment with the firm(s); Job description including job titles, duties, location, pay rate and number of hours to be worked per week 3. If you worked for a agency or consultancy you must provide evidence of projects you worked on I have worked on Client projects but have been employed Full time/Permanent/Salaried with a very reputed Consulting firm (NASDAQ Listed). What will suffice as evidence of project? Would a statement on company letter head be sufficient? Is a Consulting firm and consultancy the same thing (Do I need to provide this section)? I had three employers on my first OPT. One was my professor for whom I worked as a Assistant for 1 month, 5 months for a company and currently I am working for a different company. With my application, I sent an offer letter from my current employer. I have an offer letter and experience letter from my previous company, but I don't have a letter from my prof. Do I need that letter? I worked for only 1 month under him. If the USCIS wants proof of me not being unemployed for more than 90 days then I don't need the letter from my prof. I am not sure whether I will get a letter from my prof. Can someone please provide more information or a solution to this problem? Thank you, Nagesh Link to comment

t75 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 If you worked for the prof without official university approval, you may have an issue. He likely had no right to offer you "employment" since universities have very strict hiring procedure for even low level employees. Link to comment
rahul412 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 Can someone please provide more information or a solution to this problem? Get that letter from prof. It will be useful to you not only for OPT extension but also in future. Link to comment
t75 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I repeat - the prof was not authorized to "employ" someone in the university. Link to comment
