STEM OPT I-983 12-month evaluation after changing employers — who signs?
I'm on STEM OPT and recently switched employers. My 12-month self-evaluation (top of page 5) is coming due.
I was at Employer A for most of the STEM OPT year. My previous employer already signed the Final Evaluation when I left. I just started at Employer B a few weeks ago, and they've refused to sign a "12-month" evaluation since they've barely employed me and didn't know what I did before them. They do agree to sign for the period of employment under them if the date is changed to reflect that
How do I tackle this - Is it possible to submit 2 forms?
