Different Employer name on I-20

[Guy_StemOPT_H1]

Hi,

 

I am presently working on Stem-OPT.

 

I started My Master's in August 2010 (That time i had my first I-20)

I have completed my Master's on May-2012.

Then i applied for OPT and my OPT Started from June-2012 ( That time i had two I-20's)

On June-2013 i applied for Stem-OPT and my Stem-OPT started from June 2013 (That time i had three three I-20's)

On the third I-20 there is name of employer-A.

 

But in July-2014 i joined employer B and informed the same to DSO she updated the same in SEVIS,

 

But is it necessary to have new I-20 with the name of Employer B? for applying H1.

 

I have to apply for H1 this year April-2014. Is it necessary to have new I-20 with new employer name or Old I-20 will be suffice.

 

Please let me know.

Does I-20 even have employer name? I don't think so. Your SEVIS record needs to be updated, that's all there is to it.

While you are on STEM-OPT, your employer name will be printed on the third page of your I-20.
 

Where as on First OPT I-20 there will be no employer name, as most of us will not start the job at that point.
